gettin' the barn wall on a new foundation

original barn wall blown off its foundation.  elevated wall over 12 - 16"  with 15 bottle jacks.  entire building had new layer of 5/8" sheeting which added weight.  original cinder block foundation had deteriorated due to farm animal urine.  replaced with new cinder blocks on top of footing.  Filled all voids with concrete, rebar and holddowns.  after raising wall completely off the ground, all swang back over original position.  lowered wall and attached holddowns. Approx cost: $2,000.00 labor and materials.
used tractor to help push wall into postion before securing
