Moving the gar-shop
We are attempting to embark on a home addition. Based on the layout of our
property and the architecture of the current house, we have no choice but to
go straight back. The problem is that the garage/shop is in the way. Local
building codes dictate that there must be 10 feet minimum of clearance
between structures. If we leave it where it is, we will have to a) cut back
on the expansion plan somewhat and b) remove a 4 foot overhang on the front
of the garage. Even then, it will be very difficult to access with a car
(not that ours go in there anyway). One of the builders we spoke to talked
about moving the existing garage. He gave us the name of a company that
deals with this sort of thing, but they must not need the work too badly
because it's been three days with no response.
So, I'm curious exactly how one would go about moving a garage? The
existing structure is 24 feet square. I'd like to move it straight back
about 12 feet. Obviously, a new section of concrete would have to be poured
and tied into the existing slab. I'm more curious how one does the physical
moving. I've Googled for it and can't locate anything except garage sales
and moving sales when I look for "garage moving". Any ideas?
