Here he is turning it to face the house. The back of the shed is about 12 feet from our property line. I'm planning on moving my raspberry canes behind this shed along the fence.
Here is the shed ALMOST there. It tipped horribly at times thru out the move because the different sizes of logs under it. All and all it went really well.
The shed on the move!! YEAH!!! Here it is about half way there!! I got a neat video of it and I might try and post it yet. He just pushed from behind and it ROOOLLLEEDD on the logs and TA DA!! :) I'm pretty excited to have it moved :) Can't ya tell?? LOL.
Ok this is attempt #1. See the logs under the shed? The shed is going to roll on them but to break it loose was a bit too much for the bobcat so Papa tried the Travelall. It would have worked but the support in the middle broke and it was getting to late to do keep going. So we started again the next morning.
Ok now you can REALLY see it. We started 2 years ago and took about a 8th of the trees out starting by the raised beds. Then last fall and this spring we really went at it and it's mostly finished behind the shed. This sounds easy but mostly it was black spruce with a bit of white spruce and poplar mixed in. Black spruce is the WORST tree on the place we've had to deal with yet. They grow tall and spindly with lots of branches and very close together and the wood is pretty useless if it's small. We took all the black spruce out first and then took a good look at was was left and decided to take them all out! This spring we decided to MOVE the shed and are VERY happy with it so far. As you can see we left a 20 foot buffer of trees between us and the neighbor and about 30 feet between us and the road. Our 5 acres is very long and narrow.. the shed you see above the trailer in the picture is the neighbors. 
Ok mostly what you see is the inside of our covered parking area and two little boys getting firewood. BUT if you look behind them you can see from right to left. The driveway, the trees over my raised bed area, a break in the trees that we did years ago for the log truck driveway, , the ambulance, scout, and pickup, and then more trees behind the IHC's. The shed is just out of the picture surrounded by even more trees.
Ok so here is a picture of the raised beds before they got filled up. If you look at the picture below and find the yellow travelall in it, I was standing where the travelall was parked to take this picture. Confused yet? Don't worry it will make sense in a bit :) Our house is off down to the right. 
Mr. B, Chip, R, E Mrs. B, L and J (with their fire) and Papa. 
E looking like she's freezing. She wasn't she just always looks that way. She loves that chair :)
R loving it!! She was 'helping' throw sticks in the fire but she's DANGEROUS still and I plunked her in the stroller for some peace of mind. She can only throw something about 2 feet and when your fire is 4 feet across.... 2 feet is WAY TO CLOSE!! She didn't mind and had a great time goofing off in the stroller. 
The 2 fires from a different angle.
J and L with their little fire. J really likes to make his own fires this year and after they had enough sticks we put a pile of dry leaves under it and got a lit stick from the big fire to lite it. Well we were getting smoke and not much else when the Papa and Mr. B came alone and before you could say learning experience they had taken a LOG out of the main fire and put it under the boys sticks and instant fire :)
All those pieces of firewood in the background were cleaned up before the night was done. Papa and Mr. B threw them into trailers and stacked them on piles and it didn't take long at all!! This by the way was March 28th. Now this piece is green with new grass.
The finished bacon!! YUMM!! It tastes just like the bacon we had professionally done last year. When Papa brought me a piece to try I ate it then asked him 'where did you get the bacon?' He laughed and said 'I made it!!' VERY COOL!!
Rubbing the cure on the meat. He rubbed it in really good then put the meat in a very clean 5 food grade 5 gallon bucket to cure. When it was done curing he took it out and washed it off and trimmed it of a bit of mould (it had NO mould on it until it got left in too warm of a spot for the last 24 hours. So we are going to be VERY careful of that next time) and smoked it in the teepee. 
He's done several different smoking's in the teepee. He started out with a couple of cement blocks with my old canner on top. Fire between the brinks and soaked wood chips (hickory, ect) in the pot. Then he tried just dry willow wood and wet chips right in the fire so it smothered and smoked really well and this last time he did the same thing just using wet willow wood instead of wood chips which are pricey!! Every time he does it the meat is WONDERFUL and I think we are no longer going to be buying chips but using what we have here. This is only a cold smoke and the meat is cooked on the BBQ after smoking. We don't put a single spice on it and WOW good stuff!! :)
Some chickens Papa smoked in the smoke house. They taste AWESOME!!! He has them hanging from the ropes tied across the top of the teepee with bent clothes hangers. Works great. For the roasts and bacon he uses meat hooks. 
L half way up with J looking on.
J touching the poles.. for someone who thinks he's scared of heights he didn't have a problem up or down :) 
L as far as he got. I don't think he actually touched the poles.
