So, I'm back to square one ????????

Any ideas?

You could use a pulling horse to pull it away from the house and
then use a pulley system so the horse could pull it back. The horse
would always have his arse to the porch, but the pulley would reverse
the direction of the force.

This is an excellent suggestion. However, in this case, I dont see any
way to attach the pulleys, without removing the crawl space siding I
just put on, to use the house's posts for the pulleys.

As far as "6 guys", what about cutting/attaching 3 hand holds on
each side? All 6 guys would be standing sideways, like pall bearers.
Wouldn't that give them enough room?

I've thought about this, but I'd also have to remove the steps or no one
could grab that side of the porch. But this is starting to look like one
of the better ways to do this....

What about digging out the ground where you wanted to move the porch
and using steel pipes/lolly (lally?) columns as rollers?

Possibly. I do need to consider the soil at the front of the porch is
probably 8" higher than at the rear (the whole yard slopes), so I wonder
if it would roll or just slide backwards on the pipes????
