Questions for this shipment: 

Question: [email removed][website removed] (11/27/2007)
Question: Thanks, but I won't be in your area anytime soon. (11/27/2007)
Question: I assume being that light it is plastic.Also the 8 feet seams a bit wide.We have 7 children and have had our share of play houses. dbrackett22 (11/28/2007)
Response: Hi there. No actaully it's not plastic. It's like a "real" home...comprised of wood, shingles etc. It's pretty heavy, it would help to have an electric pulley system to pull it onto a flatbed. I believe it's 8ft wide, 10ft long and 10 ft high. I can send a pic if you think you can tow. Ps. 7 kids? God bless you and you're wife...I'm quitting while I'm ahead after just one...lol. (11/28/2007)
Response: That explains alot,I know what you have now.None of our trailers are wide enough.Try your yellow pages for shed movers.Most providers out here are not equipped to move something of this size and weight for a reasonable price.At least shed movers would give you a price to start with.Or you could try a tow truck driver with a flatbed.Just a idea. Good Luck dbrackett22 (11/28/2007)
Response: great advice...shed movers! I wouldn;t have thought of that, thanks!! (11/28/2007)
Response: I see your add is still listed.You might also try Lowes or Homedepot.They have message boards you might check as well.Be careful of zero bidders this stucture is wood they may destroy it if they don't know what they are doing.I was a Lead carpenter for many years.They make a special trailer for this kind of shed or a tow truck driver has a rollback (looks like a flatbed.I have driven tow truck before I know the difference as to the other provider) that would handle it but most drivers only know how to load a car not a stucture. Good Luck (12/6/2007)
Question: I can do this for you today or tomorrow.Is it totally on the ground or on some blocks?Thanks (11/28/2007)
Response: No it's on the ground but elevated just a little, maybe on a pallet? [phone number removed]Julie (11/28/2007)
Response: Ok I think I can do it then.I make my bid.Thanks (11/28/2007)
Question: If you're in Lehigh, we are too! We can do this job anytime you need us. (11/29/2007)
Response: Hi Rollback. Yes, the cottage is located in Lehigh and will come to the NW side of cape coral. It's not a very far trip at all. Would you please send me your quote. Did you see the pic of the cottage? (11/29/2007)
Response: Yes...and we can handle it for the bid placed for you. (11/30/2007)
Question: I would bid on this as I live in Alva, however, you would be better served by a rollback truck (tow Truck) than a flat bed. They have winches and other necessary equipment to assure a safe and troublefree delivery. Hope this helps. 100 bucks is too cheap with fuel being almost 3.50. Good luck.
