This morning we elevated a 54x100 post frame building 7’.
A concrete wall will be installed under the building with an additional 5’ of wall.
After the wall is installed, we will return and set the building on the new foundation.

Craftsman Home Part 1:
We are in central MN getting ready to elevate this craftsman style home for a new foundation. I’ll take you inside the house and basement to check out this beautiful home.

After the old foundation is removed, we will dig to footing elevation and get ready for footings.

Today we moved a 41x140 hog barn. An upgraded building is going in its place on the existing foundation. The building will be moved and elevated 18’ to the rafter. New 2x6 walls will be installed and the steel beams will be removed. A hydrostatic drive unit in the front and rear of the building propels the structure with a hand held remote control.

We moved this 32x54 log home and a 30x64 post frame shop in central Mn. We needed to maintain a loaded height of under 29’ to get under two transmission lines on the way to the new site.
We had a few rain delays, with an otherwise very smooth move.

Part 4
We are back to the farm house.
The foundation is installed and we are lowering it. We will be installing steel beams to create large rooms in the lower level.

The unified jacking machine we use will lift or lower the building level, regardless of an off-balance load.
Next the porch, garage and an elevator will be installed!

We have used the Gehl skidloader for almost 40 years. Most recently the Gehl V400 since they started building it. They have discontinued this model and pretty much changed everything we liked about the V400. Great side visibility, heavy lifting, responsive controls, ability to load a full dump truck, good power turning with loads, low cab height and very balanced up and down inclines. We are looking at some other makes/models. What do you guys like or are having luck with? Let me know in the comments!

Today we elevated this home in southwest Mn for a new foundation.
The old foundation was absolutely shot. I don’t think it would have made another year. The garage is a new addition and has a newer concrete foundation. It has been elevated and will return to its original concrete wall.

It’s a scorcher outside today!🥵🥵
