Default Move deck

Need deck moved about 5 ft then moved back after home is brought in home being
replaced due to hurricane damage.

How would I accomplish that?

Depends on how it is made, how it is anchored, how high it is, what
equipment you have or can get. You can get a house mover to do it,
simple job for them.

Need much more information and photos would help.

Put an add on Craigslist and get a hillbilly contractor?

Ed is right, most important might be how is it fastened to the ground
now? If this is 4x4s sitting in post anchors on top of concrete
footers it might not be that tough other than the physical moving
itself. If the posts are in the ground you have more problems and you
may actually be cutting them off, setting piers with anchors and
putting it back that way. Hope you are good at measuring ;-)

I think you can just pull on the indoor/outdoor carpeting, and the deck
will come with it.

I wish I had one of those for cook-outs, mai-tais, girls in bikinis.
Have to check with Home Depot.

Call Jasper Towing Service. They could wrap a cable around it, lift her up and tug her out of the way.

For that you could get a few pieces of PVC pipe and put under it and
roll it out. as the pipes come out from one end, take it and place it
back to the side in the direction you are moving it to.

They would tow it back to the yard and you'd have to pay storage until
you got it out.

That's the wimp answer. Just chain it up to the F150 and drag it 5 ft.
If she don't want to go, leave some slack in the chain and get a running
start. Goddamit whatever happened to Yankee ingenuity and redneck
engineering?
