House Causes Traffic Jam





One big obstacle lay in the path before Jane and Craig can begin building their new home and now that has been removed. The house was jacked up and moved near the other side of the lake. As part of site preparation we removed valuable plant material from the foundation planting around this house. Plans for the new house are drawn and we will begin the process of landscape development soon.

I just happened upon the house moving although I knew it was happening. The utility companies kept ahead of the house lifting power lines as the gargantuan trailer inched the house closer to its destination. Traffic became backed up as the sheriff's kept the procession moving. Most people seemed content to get out of their vehicles and enjoy watching the parade. It was pretty cool.

One of our first issues is to help the homeowners with obtaining a permit and a person to dredge the channel between their shoreline and small island they own. Likely we will get a drag line or crane to do the job. These folks are sure starting out with some heavy equipment.
