Thanks for the replies guys.
If I moved it I would go diagonally to the right from where it sits now. It would then be about 40' off the road and 30' back from the driveway. A few years ago a contractor suggested moving it with a crane. I'm afraid it might collapse under that stress. He even stopped and talked to a crane operator at on of the industrial construction sites around here. $1000.00 set in fee + what ever time involved. The Amish gave me a bid to fix it where it is and reside with new hemlock ~ $10K or dismantle, move where ever I wanted it and put it back up but with 8/12 trusses and shingle roof & new siding ~ $17-18K. I'm not real concerned with historical value but like the rustic look. Everyone in the family has a different idea. Maybe I should just charge people to watch it fall or maybe since Pennsylvania is so gungho for gambling and slots I could set up a pool and sell tickets @ $20 a shot to see who can guess closest to when it will fall. Winner gets half the take, I use the rest to build my new building. LOL
