How many times have troublesome neighbors made you want to move? Such as the new renters two doors down. The loud ones that get drunk, play loud rap, and argue about which is a better game. Duck-Duck Goose? Or Ring Around the Rosy? No joke! One of the big motivations for not moving is the house. Alot goes into making a house a home. A home is a big part of the family. You can't just abandon it over one bad apple. Well, there is five of them, but still. Could just move the house.
Bad news is moving a house is a costly and time consuming project. Most of the time and money will be spent before the house even begins it's journey. First you have to find a good house moving company. The moving company can help with preplanned task. There is a lot to planning. Local agencies must be contacted to make sure than the move is allowed by local code, all permits are obtained, and the route is approved. After everything is approved things happen relatively fast. Utilities are disconnected. The foundation is dug up along with any landscaping impeding the equipment. Steel beams and wooden braces are set up to stabilize the home. The house is then jacked up and placed on a dolly system. Then a truck carefully pulls the home to it's new location. This part goes very slow. Workers have to walk alongside the house clearing obstructions. A new foundation is poured. The house is lowered. All the utilities are reconnected and the home is ready for occupants.
The good news is the house can be moved furniture and all. No packing!! Hey, if I have to move sign me up. Then again with cost starting at $15,000.00 I think I can put up with the noise. I might even cast my vote for Duck Duck Goose, I mean is Ring Around the Rosy really a game.
