This is common in the USA. For various reasons, usually the property is a prime site for a development, or sometimes highway or other uses, the house needs to be gone, either move it or tear it down. There are contractors that specialize in this work. If I was to wild guess, in the USA there are 50 houses moving down the roads every day. The house is jacked up, some beams slid underneath, and a truck under one end, and some trailer wheels under the other, or the whole house if small goes on a low trailer. The move may be anything from a few 100 feet to 100 miles or more, may be on open roads, across a corn field, or through tight city streets. The wheels are expensive, and the contractor not likely to leave behind, like you probably wouldn't' leave an oscilloscope behind after a field call. The truck driver would get cited since he is the motive power and his insurance have to pick up the bill. The cost of the house if demolished would depend on the contract wording with the house owner. I guess there is a chance that the bridge weight limit signs were none existent. The oversize load normally would need a special travel permit, but on back roads with local lowest level of government control, who knows what the requirements are. :) :) Tamas Rudnai wrote: > Guys, you are talking about engineering, insurance and stuff, but seriously, > I have never seen a house on wheels!
