Assuming there are no hills involved. I have this mental image of a Bridgeport rolling down my driveway and into my truck stuck in my head right now.

BTW: In the same spirit of all the "How many people does it take to screw in a light bulb joke": How many people does it take to roll a Bridgeport around on steel pipes?

And by "doable" are we talking "completely safe but a lot of work" sort of "doable" or more like "you either can now never move and will die in that house because you are NEVER moving that thing again or whoever buys the house after you gets the mill too" sort of "doable"?

Thanks for the info though. I keep checking Craigslist all around my area but no "great deals" have popped up here in years!
