NQ> How realistic is house moving? In other words, digging up an entire house,
NQ> putting it on a truck, and taking it to another lot somewhere else.
NQ>
NQ> Could the house be resold for a similar price?
The two-story house diagonally across from where I grew up was moved
several miles to it's present spot. The basement is not moved (you
probably knew that). Sometimes the house is cut into sections.
Coordination with the utility companies is also needed as some
temporary removal of power lines, etc., in the path may be needed.
Apparantly the moving process can be done with little structural
and/or visible to the house: the people who lived in the house were a
little picky about things: had holes drilled through the table legs so
the cords to the table lamps would no droop over the edge.
