Not familiar w the auger anchors. They buried under each post?
eta Bunch of styles came up via the googler. Main walls cabled to them? Bolted to them. They had a neat machine for screwing those into the ground. It was a BIG electric motor that was geared real slow. Had lots of torque. They had to brace the motor end to a post, or it would have just spun the two guys around holding it. About a foot down here, you run into a real hard clay. I've twisted off many shear bolts digging post holes with my tractor PHD when I hit that clay.

There is an outfit here (Homer I think) that does screw-in pilings for cabins.

Roundoak, when you got to move the outhouse...... I see you unscrew the bracket from the wall, but what about the anchor? And, is that a cement slab I see? How do you move it? Nice!

Barry, that barn/shed is looking good. When I finish the house, that's my next project. Gotta build something to put all my treasures and my wife's stuff in.

Thanks Randy! Got a new barn, so I gotta shop for a new star to decorate it with... Already got the garage part partially filled. Had to get wifey a new golf cart a few weeks ago... She'd rather walk than get in my Mule and drive anywhere... She just won't drive it. At least I can have my whole parking spot back now that the cart is in the garage...

Reverse screw the anchors to remove. No cement slab, sill plates screwed to treated 4"x4". To move, slide skid loader tines underneath.

Make it twice as large, you'll thank me later. Yeah, I know. I just have to do a bit at a time, until I win the lottery... The new barn is in addition to the first one I added a few years ago. It tends to get crowded... Keeping my welding trailer in that one only leaves room for one tractor. Buster?

Ed, sadly, we lost Buster a few months back. That grey one is Buster's much younger brother, Bandit. He's not quite 4 years old. He looks and acts just like Buster though. The black one is a Giant Schnauzer female I got from some folks who were in over their head with her. She's Bailey. Turning out to be a good dog too. She just needed a bit of training and attention.
