On the evening of May 26 (the very same night of the day when they set the back house-half on the foundation), they moved the front house-half onto the property.
They drove it down from the field above our house where it had been parked. (Once again, I missed all the driving action because I was gone, so Josh took most of these photos)
It drove right past where we had temporarily parked the old house:
Then they drove it carefully through the narrow gate that leads to our driveway:
After passing through the gate, the driver had to make a sharp turn in order to avoid hitting the foundation:
And on the same turn, the driver had to straighten out in time for the back-end of the house to miss hitting the fence or terrace:
Then he pulled as far forward as possible to straighten out the house-half:
Then the driver backed up the house towards the foundation, and had to miss hitting the power pole in the process:
Then he continued to back up down the driveway for a bit:
And finally, he pulled up alongside the foundation:
And the moving job was complete:
The very next morning (Thursday, May 27), the crew returned to set the second half on the foundation. Unfortunately, I wasn't around for that either because I was making waffles for Ammon's last day of school brunch. I missed them taking off the plastic, I missed them pulling the house onto the foundation, and I missed them lowering the home. When I got home after being gone for 2 hours, they only had one more section to lower:
The home was officially anchored on the foundation, and they got to work sealing the floors inside:
The last thing the crew did that day was seal the roof right down the center, and thankfully they did it just in time for a rainstorm that was passing through:
My house was officially set-in place and we were all SO excited!!! Stay tuned for the next segment, as we walk through the inside of the house for the first time after it was delivered and set up!!!...to be continued
