    How to move a gable wall to expand a garage
    Have a 20' by20' garage and would like to extend it on the gable end by another 20'.Would it be practical or possible to just cut the gable end free from the walls and roof and move it 20', attach the new front and back walls and install roof trusses. Reason for looking at doing this is, have windows in it and vinyl siding and don't need that wall in the expanded garage. Any comments appreciated.
