another 3-4 inches done today with any major drama haha... but at one point i noticed the side that meets the house is now leaning to far left.. i quickly put on the second winch so it now crosses the first winch.

Turns out that i need to start jacking the left middle now as i was only doing the right middle and the ends as they were much lower... so i guess i am half way there!.... more to come tomorrow!

I think i will leave well enough alone
here are some after shots http://s166.photobucket.com/albums/u...l_photos/shed/

There was so much patch work done to this shed, i would literally have to take it apart to get it any straighter, i'm quite happy with the results of the leveling and straightening... I will be starting to put in the sill and floor soon... i can see the light finally

I've been plodding away at it since i posted this thread(lots more pics to)... what a vacation from work LOL. New tin is going on now so once it dries up a bit inside i'll be able to start insulating. What a learning experience!!
I am seriously thinking about poring concrete next year as really it will be the only way to really make this a solid problem free structure again. Slab or walls, glad i have all winter to think about it.
