House move, 25-29 April 2001
| If we were to sell our house now, we would have to advertise it as "low mileage" because we moved it about 8 miles from a location outside of town to a location in the middle of town, closing a state highway in the process. We did this because our original land had been rezoned from Agricultural to Industrial, changing the character of the neighborhood. The move began on 25 April 2000 and we made it as far as the median strip of Route 28 the first day. Rain delayed the completion of the move until 29 April when the house made it to the bottom of our driveway. Winching the house up the 1000 foot driveway took an additional two days. |
