Default Lottie shed and greenhouse

Right, now I'm sitting here at work planning my lottie. Since my mate has decided she hasn't got time, it's mine, all mine .

I'll try and work out how to post a link to Google maps in a mo, but in the meantime - advice needed. The plot is on a SSW facing slope. The old shed and ahem, ahem "greenhouse" are at the top (NNE) of the plot. At the moment the shed is in front of the "GH" (as in south). The remains of the old "GH" are going to the tip and I am erecting a new freecycle one. Ideally I would like to move the shed to where the old GH was and have the new GH in front of it. The shed was built by the previous incumbent about 20 years ago of bits and bobs. It has two "rooms" and is actually a brilliant piece of construction and very practical. Actually, the "GH" is the same and has been built using corrugated fibreglass panels, now split and broken and no roof.

Ideally, I would have got my brother to take his tractor there and put a strap round the shed and dragged it. This is impossible as there is someone elses plot above mine. So do other grapes think I should leave well enough alone or should I dismantle the shed and re-mantle it .

Well link didn't work so explanation will (hopefully) be clear.

If it's been put together a long time ago it might be hard work taking it apart or it may just fall apart and then you have no idea if it will go back together, what state are the nuts and bolts in, what state is the wood in? Any soft areas. Without seeing it though it's hard to judge.

Think a good idea would be to wait until Saturday and post piccies.
