I think the dishes might be broken, but it's a plan

Ingrid - I could move this way! Do you think they'd let me stay in the house and take a nap during the move? :)

Tammy... So whats a few broken dishes! So much better than packing them! 

 

Devona... Yep... I think you could actually sleep too because the house took all day to move about 50 feet! It is over 200 years old so they took their time. It is across the street from my condo in Virginia Beach. 

 

Good luck selling to you both! I hope 2011 brings you great success!

Ingrid, great photo. What do you think of the movie "UP". Do you think it would work in this case??

Indera,

 

Kinda does look like the movie "Up"... if the movie was called "Up & Really Slow" it would be even more appropriate! 

 

Vegas Bob,

Thanks! I will check out those groups... my husband is the Sci-Fi Guy though! Works at a place called "Geeks On Call" and everything! He wore a Star Trek Shirt a couple of weeks ago and I thought "God I hope that's for Halloween..." It wasn't!

Susan and Judith,

They only moved about 50 feet though! We are widening a street and this home, which is still used today is nearly 300 years old, so instead of smashing it they just moved it over. It has been like this across the street from my house for a month now!

I watched a house get moved once. It amazed me watching them handle traffic and overhead wires. Great pic Ingrid!

I wish I could do this now.  I like my house but hate the lot it is on.  Too many trees! This might be an option LOL!!!
