What do you attach the anchor poins to and what did you use?
I bought 1/2 inch thick, 12 inch long, eye bolts and the thickest, biggest washers I could find.
I drilled diagonally through the sill plate low on the "lean away" side (the building is leaning away from this point). Did the same thing through the top plate on the "lean towards" side up high. Put eye bolts with washers on the outside of building. The more you can spread out the impact of where the eye bolt is pulling, the less you'll damage the exterior siding.
Attached come along to the low eye bolt (easier to reach here), truck towing strap (rated for 10,000 pounds break strength... FAR cheaper and more useful later than chain or cable) to the come along, other end of truck towing strap to the high eye bolt.
I would suggest in a smaller building to do this once at each corner and once in the middle.
Tighten all, and continue to cycle through tightening each one as needed until the building moves to where you want it to be.
Listen to the building. Noise will happen of course. The art is to decide how much noise is ok. Constantly inspect the eye bolts for evidence they're uncurling/bending. Constantly inspect whether eye bolts are threatening to pull though your damage. Constantly watch teh sill and top plate to make sure they're not separating from the framing.
Once it is where you want it to be, use aforementioned bracing options to keep it there. Once all bracing in place, SLOWLY release a notch from each come along one by one in a cycle while monitoring whether your bracing is working properly.
If any of the steps seem problematic.... STOP working on it, and post another question, or better yet get a pro in to look at it. (
although, in my case, I got the pro in to inspect my ideas BEFORE I started and would highly recommend that)
Good luck!
