[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 2975332, member: 8119"] I appreciate all the ideas. It's installed in the back of the garage. So it'll have to be rolled out - then loaded on a trailer. Driveway is mostly level - some slope - but nothing crazy. It's 79" tall, and the garage door frame is 81" tall. So it's do-able, but tight. (no problem) I called the shelter manufacturer and they quoted me $800 to re-locate. (includes installation in the new garage) I did find (2) gun-safe movers that quoted me numbers about $500~ish. (I think it includes installation) Oh, and (1) guy that re-locates backyard pre-built sheds quoted me $500. I got nothing out of the Septic-tank folks. I guess it's hit-or-miss for that. I'm still debating DYI - or contracting it out ($500-800). Honestly, the job isn't that challenging or difficult - but I'm trying to weight the hassle/risks/ and time-frame. Yeah, I could save a lot of cash - but ....errr .... the contractor would get it done and installed - QUICK. As a rule of thumb - my projects tend to take way-too long. Hahaha :) For the price I got it - even with contracting it out - I'm still $ ahead of the game. So "DIY" ...or... "When in doubt, contract it out." [/QUOTE]
