Posted March 19, 200817 yr Not sure where these photos were taken, but obviously somewhere out in rural America. What was once just a modular home being moved now looks more like a covered bridge with windows and garage doors. As Bill Engvall says....."Here's your sign!" :-D :laugh:
March 19, 200817 yr Whoa! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
March 19, 200817 yr wow, they are lucky the house didn't collapse. That's quite a pickle they are in!
March 19, 200817 yr Maynard Nash's masterpiece recreation of Frank Llyod Wrights Falling Water. LOL, I was going to make that comparison, but you beat me to it!
March 19, 200817 yr Looks like the trailer it was being hauled on is the only thing keeping that house from buckling!
March 20, 200817 yr i say let the house sit. build a deck to the porch and you got yourself an interesting home.
March 20, 200817 yr Haha man, that's got to suck.. Imagine how the new owners of that house felt when they got the call: "Yes, well your house is basically a temporary bridge right now. We are waiting for the crane to lift it off. Or would you like to have a beautiful water feature for free?"
March 20, 200817 yr If I know contractors, they will try to say that this is what the construction documents called for.
March 20, 200817 yr Anyone figure out where this is because I would like to know the story behind it.
March 21, 200817 yr The photos are several months old at the very least when I saw them on break.com. But delayed posts could either means months or years ago. I'd also blame the engineers/county/whoever manages that bridge as well. It looks pretty third world. You wonder how two passing tractors ever made it over that thing They moved a house over a bridge a block from my house. (incident free)
March 21, 200817 yr It could be a bridge on someone's private drive. There's alot of those on the large farms and ranches in the west/plains.
March 21, 200817 yr I've seen concrete slab bridges like that all over Iowa and Nebraska on county-maintained rural roads.
March 21, 200817 yr There is a new show called "Haulin' House" on HGTV that is about moving old homes to new sites. It's pretty tense stuff. They deal with 100+ year old houses that have to be lowered down from cliffs, houses that have to be loaded onto barges, etc.
March 23, 200817 yr I just noticed the bridge pillars are made out of wood. Who knows how rotted those may have become.
