OH MY! LOL

But, ya know...I don't think you could pay me to take that home. I've moved mobile homes before and what a nightmare! No thank you. Good Luck to the new owners!

Good God!

Why do they even move houses? You'd think it would be cheaper to build a new one and have your walls uncracked.

Well, out here where an undeveloped acre goes for something over $500k and where it would be MUCH less expensive to just expand the house than to build a new one, it's quite pracitcal...

500k? Where do you live?

I own about 30 acres on the Maryland Eastern Shore, and if I could get $5 for 'em I'd be happy!!!!

Okay, Jeff, I'll offer you $5.00 for the land, on a ten year land contract of course......

I am going to buy Japanese cars from now on, because the auto workers got the day off to vote and the state went to Gore, so I want to see how many we can get unemployed.

What? You pay me $5.00 over ten years?

Okay, provided I get a 1000000000000% interest rate ...

anyone think to look under the house, see if there's a dead witch down there?

JK: Moron Hell, CA. South of the Silicon Valley. Average house price is $500k. Ours could easily go for $750-$800k, just because it's a decent house on a decently landscaped acre, with million dollar houses on *SMALLER* lots of land the next street.

Well a few years ago they moved a Dr. office building about from about 3/4 a mile away to an area right below where I live. they said it was a 50k building, and the move cost less than 20k. So for short distances it may very well be worth it. I heard though two story houses come out with cracked walls and internal damage though.

Hey JeffKardde, you live on the Eastern Shore? I live about one hour away from Annapolis, my old stomping ground! Surely you've been there.
