Need help moving yurt in San Diego

[Riley]

Hi All:
I live in North San Diego, California and have to move my 30' yurt( Pacific Yurts)from the home i'm selling to another property just two streets away.

The platform is already built at the new location. But, I can't find anyone to take the yurt down and put it up at the other house. I can pay anyone willing to help. It will take about 3 days, and we will need a crew of 4.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I would just contact one of your local contractors to do it.

Thank you.
I called a couple already. One wasn't available for 5 months and the other quoted an insane price, 30 times what I paid for the original set up. I'd use the same guy, but he moved to Canada.

If anyone knows of a trustworthy contractor in the San Diego area that would be great. If not, I guess I'll try a few more cold calls and get estimates.
Thanks again.

This right here is the downside to big yurts. If you can't find someone or can't afford high labor you'll simply have to do it yourself with enlisted help. fwiw All manner of really tough circumstances way more difficult than moving a yurt (like pulling a V8 engine out of a van) have been overcome by those that 'have' to do something themselves. Just sayin. Yurt isn't brain surgery or rocket science. Good luck.
