Got a trailer?  Know the weight?  That's first.  Load the house on the trailer and go to the scales - subtract the weight of the trailer=house weight.
Scales are at stone quarries, places that take trash, scrap iron places, etc.

  Will Roseanne Barr fit through the door? If not, I would say it's pretty heavy. :D

from your dimensions and materials, i would guess that it weighs more than 150#, i could be wrong though.  i know from building my wheelhouse this summer that weight adds up VERY FAST.

post some pictures if you can.  it would help us get an idea of the weight, and i jsut like pictures! ;D

but.... yea, you just need to bring it to a quarry, landfill, bottling plant, maybe even a weigh station on the highway

If you want an accurate weight like Fishesforpike said take it to your dump it usually has a scale that you can do a before and after weight if you know the weight of the trailer.  If not?  Take just the trailer to the dump and get it weighed.  I'm sure if you talk to someone and explain what it is you want they can accomodate your request to just get a weight.
