It's criminal that this channel doesn't have more subscribers. Imagine how many more DIY'ers you could birth. Being a self reliant person is bigger to me then my degree.

Yeah, and what's the apostrophe in "DIY'er" supposed to be for? Why not just "DIYer"?

Nice video, thank you. Sorry for your loss.

Glad you, your house and shop are ok!

Tough break on the shed, but you got to keep the house. Roll the dice, move the boiler. I can't wait!

I'm glad the skid idea worked out instead of this crane contraption. Just too sketchy to keep that vertical column square and the beam in place during the pivoting process.

this is a cool idea. I can't wait to see you pull it off, sorry about your fire though, good luck mate

I'm happy that you prefered the other solution to move this building using the skid ;-)

My dad moved a house by jacking & setting it on logs Mules pulled the house as it rolled on the pine logs. As the house moved, logs were replaced in front and continued the move. Maybe a cement block wall (building) would be a better non-combustible building choice.

Yes you definately crazy build a timber sled for the boiler and tow it with your digger. The lever plan will be unstable as hell and it will fall on you. Don't do it!

Love your videos!

Good to see that you're ok. The idea is crazy but a good challenge and would be a cool video. Sadly even cool videos don't always do well though

Having a pond near your house would it be a good idea to own a sizable engine pump (mobile or stationary) to fight a fire yourself before the professionals arrive?

Me siento muy feliz viendo sus videos soy de Costa Rica

Just subscribed , awesome content

lifting the boiler would be fun... sliding the boiler on skids would be smart. im most interested in the boiler itself and how you heat your home with it..? where i live we dont have anything like that.

I time is not a problem, I would try to move it using your method. Sounds like fun

I think it would be fun to watch but I would definitely have that vertical pole anchored firmly in the ground! anyway have fun and be careful! Peace from Southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

I think putting the boiler on a sledof some sort would be much easier

I agree, but it's just not as much fun! Haven't decided yet though, and it will be awhile anyway. Need to pour a concrete slab for the boiler and the shed to sit on. Thanks for watching.

Make a carriage with a couple axles and cross beams under the frame of the boiler. Your elaborate crane system looks very dangerous. First, you must constrain the JIB pole in more than 1 direction. Second, the moment on that 40ft beam is pretty high, a tree that would sustain that would probably weigh as much as the boiler itself. Third, the tree would need to be fixed very securely to the JIB pole to allow for pivoting. Fourth, you'll only get 20ft at a time, then have to break down and move the whole contraption (which will involve digging a pit for the JIB pole [see first reason]).

Glad your shop is still standing I agree with woodaddict1 though a sled would be a solid plan B at the very least.

Why not get a couple of those meter cube water tanks. Get perfect amount of counterweight plus after they are filled perfect emergency water tank.

This is nuts. I say go for it.

Make sure you get a nice clear section of tree. A knot will substantially weaken the beam (though you probably knew that).

Time is $. Put the boiler on skid timbers and push or pull it to location. 👍

Thanks!

Looks like fun, but having to take things down and set it up multiple times seems like a pain.

Sounds like you should get rid of the tree that's against the house too

Sounds like a hell of a lot of fun, and I agree, I'd want to do it this way, just because its interesting, would be fun, a good teaching and learning tool for the kids too even. I have used the log roll method a few times in my construction and remodel days, for a few reasons and it was fun. Some of the reasons, we were in remote areas with not many other options, the expense of hiring someone with equipment, everyone else was scratching their heads, and I said... uh let's go ancient builder style. I have a saying I made up from one of my experiences. "Just have to be smarter than a doorknob " there's a long story that goes with it,, but basically sometimes we think too hard or just give up because some things most people just accept there's no way around it and give up immediately. Like my situation. I got locked out by my apartment complex, they put one of those knob locks on that prevent you from turning the knob. They dont cover the shaft of the knob. So I just found something to act in the same way as some oil filter wrenches, in this case I had to find a type of string or something that wouldn't just slip. Wrapped it around and turned. Maintenance guy was confused as hell how I was inside my apartment when he had to show up to let me in. Thus was born my constant reminder and saying that you just have to be smarter than a doorknob. Yes I get that it should be smarter than a doorknob lock, but I like my saying. Never give up, find a solution, and dont ever think you're defeated right off the bat. Hope this inspires at least just one person.

@FarmCraft 101 I hope this tag works and you see this.

You don't want to try and balance your post. It needs to be set in the ground very securely. Doing so will also give you 360° of rotation. You'd have to make the beam longer or change your final location closer but that's the only way to make sure it wont fall over. Otherwise you'd have to move your anchor (backhoe) as you rotated.

Saw this on a nearby residence. Garage and woodshed destroyed with damage to the house😑.

Not crazy! Archimedes is your friend! I moved a car on my own with a brick and a beam I had lying around when the driver got stuck across (yes, across!) our lane. Kids went to school next day and told everyone 'Daddy moved a car out of the road with his bare hands...' lol

Your new wood storage is nicer anyways. Sorry this one burnt down.

I expected a just kidding comment at the end. With a highly stabilized post structure the lift idea might work but don’t rotate. Any angle or twist and things get bad fast easily snapping 1” rebar. Lift, shore up, lift shore up, roll , drag, think Egyptian

Future me here. Probably would have been interesting!😂

So, I have watched your video moving the boiler. But I want to see this method.

You realize that if this doesn't go well, we're all going to have another "You Won't Believe What This Idiot Did! FarmCraft101...BUT the title will be....well I'll let you name it :)

At least that tree wasn’t a pine tree

I lit a grease fire in my kitchen today, that was pretty scary

How did the fire start?

gentleman, you haven`t mentioned what cause the fire? a wooden shet will not burn itself for no reason. i think it is more important than just moving the boiler.

I think he said he opened the boiler to load it and he thinks a ember jumped out and started the fire?

My woodshed is right beside my furnace too. You got me thinking. It does have a tin roof but it usually stays covered in leaves. I need to do a better job of keeping it clear. My Hardy flames like a blowtorch at times when loading it. I’m looking for a bigger furnace now. I’ve come to the conclusion that my H2 is too small for my house now that we’ve finished the basement. Anyone in the mid-Atlantic region looking for a Hardy H2, please reply. Also, anyone selling a larger furnace please do the same. Thanks

Ummmm..... fun to use a beam to move the boiler.... maybe. What would the cost be if that ends up to be one of those 'Hey, you'all watch this here!!!' type of videos? Keep up the great videos...

crazy

Don’t get me wrong, I think this adventure would be entertaining.......but seriously, just get in a crane and make a great video of building a shed with a conveyor or some other system which will make loading the boiler less back breaking..........

In the event, he put it on a skid and towed it.

law of attraction what you fear is what you would attract and that applies to everything in life 😢sorry for your loss

Don't attempt to balance your upright post, it needs to be firmly set in the ground.

Ghost Shadow definitely agree!

yes, do it fun way !

I am just about to pull the trigger on a 600,000 btu unit to heat three greenhouses. I don’t see the remains of your chimney? How tall was the old chimney? I have been planning this out all spring. Seeing this is another consideration, so ambers can get out. Smoke alarm wired to the house maybe. What did you learn, wood roof, range of ambers, prevailing winds, thanks has me wondering. PS just set up a Bridgeport, lathe plus other toys in the corner of the barn, and a 0% ar 10 forging

No chimney on my unit. I don't think that was the problem though. Most likely when I threw a log on while the door was open, an ember flew out into the shed. I'm going to build my new shed with a concrete floor and metal siding and roof. I'm also going to put it beside the boiler instead of in front of it. Good luck with your projects!

Why not use the same amount of wood (maybe a little bit more. But it grows for free on your farm, right?) to build a 3 sided pyramid (tetrahedron) with the boiler hanging from a hook at the top and 3 wheels at each corner at the bottom and push/pull it with the tractor. Lifting action done either by using a acme threaded bolt above the hook (you know how to make big bolts...). Or block and tackle with a wire rope( the sheaves need at least 20 times the rope diameter to retain 90% strength of a straight rope). Or using the tractor to lift each of the 3 corners separately reducing the max load at each corner to less than half the boiler weight.

This plan seems really dangerous. Please be careful.

Wood in the round is substantially stronger than square. Go for it

why don't you get an old conveyor to move logs into boiler.

why not just roll the boiler shed along the ground on some round poles, placing one in front of the other as you progress. makes for little effort to move and is easily steered to the desired direction. I've moved large portable sheds using this method.

Supportive bleep bloop

Wow

So you started a fire inside a wooden shed did you?

OOPS!

and so you covered everything from showing the fireman putting it out to what the fire did to everything and then to moving the boiler, but never bothered to say what caused it. The cause of it is more important in order to possibly help others from the same thing happening

I’m from the future, he pushes it around on skids.

I don't think your plan will work....What would work is to plant your post, use the beam to lift it. But then back a trailer under it, and move your post over to lift it again.

Yep, you're crazy but hey, that's not stopped you before.

The 10 ft would mean 4 lifts maybe 5. In construction I never had a boss that wanted to lift anything more than once. I believe you might want to consider creating skids and then it's only 2 lifts straight up and down. You are talking about turning 6000lbs on a single point. Very dangerous. Straight up the forces are still trying to kick out your support but turning may well generate enough force to flip your tractor right over. Archimedes was a h*** of a guy but I'm not Archimedes, I can't tell you exactly how much torque is going to be applied but it's going to be all lot more than 6000 pounds when you turn that. I doubt you will ever read this but I hope you reconsider.

Close call, too close! If you have the time and want to expend the effort, - go for moving it et.el. fulcrum & lever.

You've probably seen the KZread vids of the guy who moves big stones with no machines

Insurance will not cover those here - antifreeze will burn.

Torque = Force * Length

2000F what is that in real temperatur ?

Rent a Bobcat with forks. Don't risk your life.

Abort. What about “the right tool for the right job”..? Rethink that one. I like your videos and you’ve done some cool stuff, but does the risk equal the reward?

I could have loaned you my mother-in-law if you wanted a nice heavy weight.
