It was fascinating watching them put the second beam into place. We also got our hazardous materials picked up today - the truck came while we were watching the men working. So, there's maybe one or two things left at our house to worry about, and that's about it!!!!!
The beam being delivered
Backing the beam down to the neighbor's house so that it can be moved into place.
Getting the beam ready to cross the ditch.
The beam is now in our yard.
Sliding the beam underneath the house.
Here it comes out the other end!
Sliding underneath where our garage used to be.
In preparation for moving the house, they had to take down the Mimosa tree. Tough old thing that Mimosa tree was. The trunk had been almost totally gutted for years yet the tree stayed alive and well.
Beams in place and house just about ready to go.
Decker told us today that he is planning to move the house on Friday at 9am. They will be spending Wednesday and Thursday getting the lot ready for the house, and doing the last minute things to our house in preparation for the move.
Are some houses not being moved? Is that why the movers had to take down one fence (and put it back) and not knock over the light pole across the street?

Some people haven't moved out yet, and our neighbors to the right are still there. They were nice enough to let the crew onto their property so their fence had to be put back up, and they probably wouldn't have liked their light pole knocked down. ;-) All the homes across the street from us are staying - those people do not have to move. This project is only affecting people on our side of the street.
ReplyDeleteWe thought everyone on the whole street had to move. John
