Any experience with moving a building?

[Charlie MacPherson]

I suddenly have two different clients who have houses they want to move.  Has anybody had any experience they could share?

I've talked to one company who tells me:

- Use $50,000 as a budget figure.
- The phone and electric utilities have to move wires out of the way at no cost (seems odd, but OK)
- The main limiting factor is the width of the road
- Longer distances (1 mile+), depending on how fast the utilities act to move wires, might result in an extra day's pay of a few thousand.  And they may be forced to park the building in the middle of the road overnight, making me not so popular with locals

Any other advice would be appreciated!
