$20,000 for Pt. Wash house that must be moved

[GoodWitch58]

I would double-check that price. Unless rates have gone 'way up...

I had an estimate for moving a much more complicated house last year, and it was $20,000. As Bobby J says, the distance does not matter, it is the mechanics of the move that determine the cost, from what's been said, and the photo, this is much less complicated than what I was dealing with.

Oh, that would be FABULOUS news!!! If the moving expense is cheaper, it may make it worth someone's while to buy the house! Anyone who may be interested, please check with reputable home movers for an accurate price as I may be way off base.......

what are the outside dimensions...L x W?

I am wondering if this could be a sowal.com project? If we only had to pay for the moving, it might be more feasible.

I want this house...BAD! Mr. dd...not so much. I would hate to see it destroyed. Plus, I don't have a lot....and then, there's the whole restoration....my mind's been reeling since this thread started......:scratch:
A SoWal.com project is an excellent idea!!!

:scratch: ...I need someone like SJ to post the good, bad and the ugly. Some free land to sit on would be nice as well. So many times people offer these old homes to anyone willing to pay the moving costs, only. We could do this and rent it out!

The house is approx 54' wide and 28' deep. Add an additional 8' to the 28' when adding in the front porch.
