Everyone once in a while the photojournalist gets the better of me and I have to post a shot. I have unsuccessfully lobbied for a category for these. This house was moved yesterday in Greentop, Missouri. The house was headed for an Amish farm. I can only imagine the cost of having it moved. There were three different electrical companies involved and each one was charging over $500.00 per hour. It took all day to move the house 10 miles.
The house was 24 feet tall and 30 feet wide. When put on the trailer it became 32 feet wide, 28 feet tall and 42 feet long. The load weighed over 50 ton. The truck in front, had a pole extended to show the needed clearance. The worker in the bucket was holding up the power line to allow room for the house to pass by. The signs on the trucks read "Wide Load and Oversize Load" "Oh, really!"
