Anyone Ever Move a Hoouse? (Questions)

True...I guess I was assuming this was flat ground...maybe not...that makes it a lot harder
EDIT: OP said level ground...

 

I would have the path from existing to new graded and then filled with sand. I think you wet the sand before you start moving. I saw a documentary where they think that is the method that was used to move the huge stone blocks for building the pyramids.

 

Yes it is level ground, plus I have a bulldozer so I can make any ground level.

 

Yeah that has been done. Not sure how "close" it was cut...we used an excavator! We ripped off the woodshed too while we were at it.

Thanks everyone for the ideas.

 

The end result is the same.

Regarding prices, it looks like you've decided to go ahead and attempt the move yourself....good luck.

8 years ago, I priced out having a basement put under the cottage. That year, prices ranged from 15K to just over 30K; depending on how involved....(moving the cottage out of the way vs. just cribbing it up and working underneath it.)

3 years ago, I had it priced out again. The lowest was 25K.

 

We gonna need some pics of this one...
Good luck!
