I grew up across the road from a stone house like this, that also had 2 fireplaces, and it had been moved a mile, including up a fairly steep hill, pulled by horses. The owner found it remarkable that the chimneys never cracked.
impressive,future generations should appreciate the effort,skill and tech to save such a building,the old saying,"they don't build'em like that anymore" rings true because we can't afford to,well done, thankyou.R.
I love mobile home videos. It’s always cool to see how people setup their mobile homes for long trips, and the types of compromises made to enjoy life on the road.
This video reminds me of the eight-story Bell Building in Indianapolis, Indiana which was moved in 1930. A great masterpiece. Great job. Thanks for sharing. I subscribed to the channel.
Good question, Tony, but it's been 4 years, and I don't recall about this one. They move gently, on rubber tires, so can be moved with most furniture in place, but it should be covered so as to not get dusty when tearing off out-buildings etc.
Ha ha ha - you don't remember the cost of moving it!!! The most important thing!!! MONEY! Stan,,.... you're unbelievable... why did you posted this video then?
for some reason it looks really funny giant stone house with hundreds of little wheels and tiny engine mounts on the back 😂 is one heck of an operation
My house was built in 1910’s or so and moved in the 40’s.. When I bought it in 2018 from someone who lived in it from the 60’s. The house was sagging in the middle 3 inches. And when they would remodel and they would square the ceilings So when I went to jack the house, the floor is getting leveled but the ceilings bowing 🙄
Are the walls are not connected with the old fundament/basement? And damage the transport the walls? And how do they set down the house from vehicle? what cost the transfer of a house? that is what me interested.
The beams directly under the stonework will be part of the footings now, I guess. Stands put under them, the bogie suspension lowered, the bogies wheeled out then the concrete poured.
I have chosen 0,5 speed for the first part and 0,75 speed for the second part, so I saw it at the normal speed. That's much more pleasant; I don't understand why you made the video in 2,0 and 1,5 speed.
Nice job done very carefully. I ahve seen this done before. Now there is no excuse to demolish historic and beautiful houses for road improvements. Just move the house or tree a little.
Sometimes they have to move because of zoning, or neighborhood changes, but if I remember right with this one they just wanted to be farther from the road, back with a new stone barn they made to match.
