I have a small shed on the property that has started to wander. I don't think it will last another winter, so something must be done. I have considered different solutions but haven't come up with anything that feels economical and practically viable, and that I know will work.
The shed is about five and a half by three meters in size. The ground where it stands slopes, so at one end it rests on a stone at each corner, while at the back it rests on two per corner.
I don't think it needs to be on a completely perfect base, so I haven't planned to dig very deep, just even it out a bit and then tamp down some stone dust or something similar.
Should I move the entire shed aside to be able to work on it?
Air cushions? How high can they lift? Is there a risk that it will start to slide away?
Some beams and a couple of jacks? The problem with that is that it will be difficult to get underneath on the side that is only one stone high. But on the other hand, maybe nothing needs to be done with those stones...
(Yes, it needs painting, but we'll take care of that after it's straightened up.)
Place a thick pipe or a smaller beam diagonally over the corner.
Prop up one end and lift with a jack on the other end, just enough to remove the stones.
Dig, smooth out, and put the stones back down, a bit of syllpapp is also good.
Lower it down and move to the next corner.
You can place a bärlina underneath and set it on sawhorses after lifting it with a jack.
Then you can dig underneath without the risk of being attacked by the storage.
