I did the same thing here 25 years ago for a yard light pole drug it 3 miles to get it home to long for truck bed

Reminds me of the time I went over to help my folks move from a rented house they'd been in up the blacktop road about a mile or so to the place they'd bought. Dad had a little shed that he'd built on 4x4 sleepers, sloped front & back to help positioning it, like runners. He'd asked a neighbor to bring his big IH tractor down to just drag it up the road, into the back yard but he didn't count on the 1/2" of ice that we got during the night, with temps headed up into the mid-30's that morning. Not to go back on a promise, here came the farmer on the tractor, and they looped a long, strong nylon tow rope around the shed (maybe 8x16) and dropped the tractor into 4 wheel drive. He took off, stretching that rope and the shed broke loose from the ice and shot forward. Away he went up the icy road, shed swinging side to side behind him. He slid it into place without hardly messing up the grass! Sometimes Mother Nature helps us out!!
Sorry for the Hijack!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
