I purchased a log cabin 2 years ago as a home office and it's been great (cost around =A32,500). We are looking to move house and wondered if anyone had any experience of de-constructing these and moving them. The construction of the walls seems pretty straight forward, just interlocking at the corners but I suspect the roof could be the issue,
anyone done this before, would be a real shame to have to bin it and buy a new one after only 2 years.
================================== Depending on size (especially width) you might be able to get it moved in one piece by a specialist caravan / mobile home carrier. If you're doubtful take a look at 'Mega Movers' on TV to see what can be achieved. Things might be on a different scale here but the idea is the same.

Sorry, no advice to offer you, but is there anything you don't like about your home office after 2 years? Anything you'd have done differently? I'm looking for any possible gotchas :-)
I remember one arriving at our house years ago on a fork lift tractor...driven all across the village. My father 'bought it off a bloke down the pub'
It lasted years..
================================== Top marks (to father) for ingenuity, but I was thinking of a more conventional means of transport. I don't think the average commuter would be too pleased at meeting a caravan travelling towards him on the arms of a fork lift truck!

Sell it to the next occupants of the house for £3,000.

Assuming you own the house and will be selling it, I would expect that the office would add more to the value of the house than it cost.
