3 weeks ago What did you do tonight? Me?? I grabbed a cold, adult beverage, picked up the puppy and headed out in the back yard to watch a gorgeous, massive house being moved! Welcome to the country baby!
Ok, so maybe I went outside to avoid being scared when the power was turned off (which, the power never went off), but, I was still outside to catch some pics! They actually broke the house down into three pieces to transport it.
I can only imagine how much it cost just in energy and cable crews and law enforcement and transportation to move the sucker, but, it was pretty cool to watch!
Check out my pics! (I warn you, my phone is old and the pics are blurry, but you still get the idea, ha!)
