This phase involved the stabilization of the existing building, removing the roof tiles, and saving as many as possible for re-use.  Shoring the post and beam contruction, reinforcing or upgrading, employing as little new material as possible.  Storage cleaning and protection of historic materials for re-use.  PReparing the site for the new location, grading, pouring the slab for placement of the building, backfill, etc.  Finally, wrapping and securing the building on its new foundation awaiting Phase II.
