Serendipity, the house made famous in the move "nights In Rodanthe" was moved this past Monday to it's new home by the same company who moved the Hatteras Lighthouse. The county ordered the move for safety concerns and although it went to another ocean front lot in Rodanthe, it just won't quite me the same.
Kind of amazing, the stuff we've figured out how to do, isn't it. Moving something like that in one piece.
Though I can't imagine how moving it from one oceanfront lot to another improves safety, unless there was erosion on the first lot.

It has always amazed me that they can do this without any damage. Hope you have a great day!
Jean-Paul, it's amazing how a whole house can be moved. The good news is by moving it they are preserving it for the future. Thanks.
Now, that is what I call relocating in fashion. Thanks for sharing your pic with us this morning
Erby,
The errosin at the original lot was very bad, and causing the overwash to block Rte. 12.
Now the house & traffic are safe.
Best of all We have shown how far people on the 0uter Banks will go to recycle! :)

Thanks for showing us another great event on the Outer Banks!! We do live in an adventurous place! Gotta love house moving! Hey, don't forget that we moved the Hatteras Lighthouse a few years ago!
Morgan-
the same company moved both Serendipity and the Hatteras Lighthouse.
Awesome picture, I have moved several houses on Edisto and even a two story. This one takes the cake.
