How to lift an observatory and take it away?
Just throwing it out there....
If I was ever to move, I would probably want to take the observatory with me.
One way is to dismantle it and re-erect it at the other end.
Is it possible to lift it and remove it in one piece?
It is sitting on a 100mm thick reinforced concrete slab.
In the diagram below, the red pier and mass concrete block under the ground are totally isolated from the entire structure, foundations and all. If it was possible to lift it, you could slide it straight up and off the pier.
I thought about digging trenches under the slab and sliding some big H beams under it with lifting points.
Are there companies in Australia that do this? How would they go about it? What would something like this cost to relocate?
