I'm guessing they used a LARGE CRANE with lots of cables.And joined em in the center? Pretty ugly huh...

Awesome ! Thats quite a deal you got on that house. It always blows my mind.When I see these old homes in the city all jacked up. And having new basemants put in. Ever had any bad days when moving?

:O Never that bad haha. I guess the worst story I have would be when we were pulling a house out of the driveway where it was originally, during the winter. Unable to see the edge of the crossing dad just gave her h*ll. The house then began to go into the ditch and actually moved over a foot on the beams. Then it was done, not going anywhere else. So we got our 1963 White Freightliner COE boom truck (Which I realized I need to get a pic of), attached it to a oak tree and pulled the whole works out of the ditch. That's the worst I got.

Thanks all for your kind words. I enjoy seeing this kind of stuff too :p

An since ya offered to ask questions an all... I got a 16'x24' Stick built home on pillars and want to get it moved to the other side of my property (10 acres) to be used as a guest house. Problem being my driveway down by the road is cut into a embankment and has two old oaks on either side. Dump trucks have a hard time making it into the drive. Any ideas on how to get the house moved since a Semi is not getting up the drive? Sorry for the long question, just never had a chance to ask a house mover. Most movers around here are out of business.
