How does a 150 pound man move a 500 pound porch? I'm estimating the weight of the porch and shooting low. It is constructed of treated 4X4 legs for posts, treated 2X4 decking and rafters and a metal roof. When they moved the new mobile home in, the porch is now about 2 feet away from the door. The only legs that were cemented in were the back ones so I sawed them off. We then put the scoop of a backhoe under one side and lifted it, but couldn't turn the wheels enough to shove it sideways. I came up with an elaborate plan of jacking it up on two floor jacks with wheels on them and shoving it forward but balancing it would be a problem.
My son took a quick look and came up with a simple yet brilliant solution. Tell me how you would do this.
