A Japanese timber framed garden shed

I can't seem to keep away. Now that our rainy season has started I became concerned about doing more to keep water out. So I installed some weather resistant barrier. It is held on with plastic capped nails. I was trying to avoid plastic for this project but sometimes you have to compromise. I ran out of the Jumbo Tex barrier so I finished off with some leftover barrier that I used on the roof.

No news, just a picture I like of the shed in morning light today.

OK, change of plans. Over the last couple of months my wife and I have decided to move house 2400 miles/3900 km away. And after much discussion have decided to take the shed with us. That means dismantling it here and rebuilding at the new site. We have purchased the new house and hope to sell our current one in April/May, with the move planned for early June. Wish us luck!

Oh, wow, good luck!! Any thoughts of trying to ship it standing eg in a container or on a flat bed? Too risky? Won't fit?

We have considered shipping it intact but it would be too expensive and too risky. It would have to be lifted by a crane on both ends of the trip, travel would be at least a week and probably more like 10 days, the shed is quite tall and tippy when not anchored, the roof isn't built for high winds, etc, etc. If we were moving it down the street I'd do it that way but not 3900 km. Also, dismantled it will fit into the moving van we are hiring and will travel essentially for free since we are already paying to move our household and my shop. I certainly know how it is put together and I'm sure I can take it apart. Although wouldn't it be fun to see it flying through the air under a crane?
