Assistance with how to remove entire one star Alamo house
Can someone tell me best way to remove/take down my lone star Alamo house with winch system? We would like to remove without any damage to the system so we can sell it prior to a move. Although over 10 years old it is well cared for and in very good condition. We have a tractor with attachments that can easily "uproot" from the ground sleeve. The pole is a 2 part pole so it can be separated after lowering the house. We have an idea how to accomplish this task but want to make sure we haven't missed something before we proceed. I looked for video online but so far cannot find one. Thanks ~

Good morning!
Sounds like you have the right tools, should be fairly straight forward i think. Lift the pole off the stake, undo the house.
If your getting the stake and cement out, just dig around the base a bit, attach a strap and the tractor should do the rest for you.
Wish you were closer, id toss my hat in the ring to make an offer!
