(Our home was moved by Northwest Structural Moving)

| The cribbings and beams are in place. | Three guys spent a day underneath the house digging trenches for the beams to slide through. |
 Here we are at the starting point! |
 Preparing to move out onto the road. |
 Hydraulic jacks raise the house at the wheels. |
 Not something you normally see on the road. |
 Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore! |
 Just leaving the original property. |
 Making the first turn onto the main road. |
 Houston, we have a turn! |
 PGE raised the lines out of the way. |
 And away we go! |
 |
 The first hill took most of the
day.
Tight squeeze between the branches, and going slowly down the hill. |
 |
 They had to do some additional tree trimming, and PGE had to drop some lines, and pull/push many others out of the way. |
 |
 Left: Many people came out to see the move. Above: Pushing through some branches. |
 At the end of the hill was a
long
straight stretch.
|
 We made very good time through
here.
|
 Then we hit the second & last hill. |
 A sharp corner and big
tilt.
|
 A close call at the pole, just a close shave. |
 The tin was already bent from
tree limbs.
|
 Turning the corner onto our
property
|
 Straightening out to go up the
hill.
|
 |
 |
 |
Finally we made it to our property! They made a sharp turn at the end of our driveway and got it up the hill in one long pull! We had some worries about it being too slippery from the grass underneath or if it rained. The movers weren't sure if the truck could make it up the long hill and might need the tractor to help pull, but it made it! |
