Ugh, not another project. I've been offered this, about 5 miles away. It's 18x24, and another 18 high. Plus the decks. Nice 2" t&g. Somewhat bolted together. Don't think it can be moved in one lump, and even the two big walls couldn't. What do you think, too much trouble?

Was there a time frame in the offer? Winters coming. Certainly not called a conventional build. Has to be some lumber in there worth taking. Guess it depends on your time and what plans for any building on your place. Would they mind if you parted it out and sold it?

Do you need it?


My first instinct was too much trouble......

Thanks guys. Well after checking power line heights and towing restrictions it looks like moving it whole is not possible. I do have the perfect spot for it but don't need it badly enough to tear it down and rebuild. It's slated to be demolished in December for apartments, suppose I'll wait around and see what I can salvage.

As hard as I've worked to build my structures, plus the cost of materials, hate to see perfectly good buildings get demolished. Just the way the big boys play I guess.

the decks and entry porch would be easy to salvage. And worth while.

For an A frame building. I would try for fixtures and some of those lovely beams.
