Last year i jacked up my 12 x 24 potting shed 2 feet and placed it on a new foundation. granted it isn't as nice as your finished shed, but the sucker is still heavy. i jacked the shed up using two 10 ton bottle jacks one inch at a time keeping the building level all the time. it was a whole lot of crawling and sliding to place the jacks..
