House is on its new site!
The house is now in site. She lifted and moved very well for an old girl. No major issues at all. Almost lost our phone line when they were pulling out the stumps. I think it may be damaged slightly, because the internet is running very slowly.
Lots of neighbours were out watching. It all went very quickly. It was on site and lined up by 9 am. It was amazing how much it swayed up and down. It almost made you feel sea sick. But it didn't creak at all.
Annie, we did see that Grand Designs episode. My brother had recorded it and we went over with mum to watch it. It made her quite worried seeing the corner falling off, but we had no such problems. We put a lot of stuff towards the centre of the house to avoid too much weight at the edges. There was a bit of bowing of the house when they lifted it up, but there are no major cracks to bee seen, which is great. It was a good episode to watch, but I don't think we will be going to as much extremes with ours.
Photos to come. It's taking too long ...
