what would be the issues that could potentially arise if I chose to try to move it?


I always assumed that moving houses basically shook them apart.

Sort of the same as using the same box to ship something over and over. And a box is meant to be moved. Houses arent.

Also, would think electrical would need to be upgraded, plumbing done....

Never really saw how this is a true cost saver.

Afraid the new TV shows are misleading people as to how great an idea it is.

Call Marchand House Movers in Gonzales. They travel or can tell you who in that area. Houses are moved all the time. You will need permits, escorts, route planning etc...

Depends on how far to move and the size of house but I've known quite a few that turn out very well. They are supported so moving them isn't much of a deal. Not necessarily upgraded electrical or plumbing but certainly you have to reinstall.
