It's up in the air

BostonGC

Anyone ever seen one of these?

Talk about a tough line of work - house moving. No license required in MA. Isn't that amazing?



Steam runs first and second. Scorched air for first. Central a/C unico on 2nd and 3rd.

Has a superstor running off the steam system, never seen it done like that before, guess it worked. Standard Taco pump, 2 years old looked bad, maybe non-ferrous when it goes back together.

Will pour the fondation under house next week.

House was moved to make room for another house. It is one the nat register of historic places, built around 1870 or so. Much heavier than we thought, guess they truly do not build em like they used to.

Reminds me of our own house project. We didn't move the house though. 65 tons, w/o the basement, of which 9 tons was in the steel I-beams (8 one-way, two the other).

Things get really exciting when houses start rolling around. I've seen it done in the Boston area a couple of times. Getting all the overhead wires out of the way is a obvious problem... but even more impressive is to see the wheels, pumps, and whatnot that give the house it's rolling feet.
