This should be fun, give me your best guess: 14' wide by 36' long, didn't notice but I assume it's framed with 2x4's as it's an older building. Fully finished inside, sheetrocked and trimmed out like a house, with a small bathroom. Couldn't get in the basement but assume the floor is 2x8 or 2x10's.
The customer, who's a commercial electrician, has it prepped with 4" by 3/8" flat bar, going under the rim sill and clear across, tied into the other side's flat bar. They are on 16' centers. I am going to guesstimate....25,000 pounds, let's call it between 20 and 25 K. I need to pick it off the foundation and set it on a trailer. The customer is in agreement that my 30 ton rig may or may not be able to handle it, and he's seen my load chart. He also knows that any damage caused during the lift, short of me dropping it, is on him. Our backup, if needed, is a half hour away, is a 80 ton truck crane that works with me from time to time.
A 10x12 framed garden type storage shed
weighs about 12 pounds per sq ft. Let's double that, times the building's 504 sq. ft, that's 11,753 pounds. Triple it, 17, 632 pounds, so 'm thinking my initial 20 to 25 K weight is in the ballpark, I of course don't care if it's lighter.
