On the subject of moving house, an article in the local paper The Kapiti Observer caught my eye. Well, the photo did. A house in Mazengarb Road Paraparumu:
A two-storey house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms measuring 336 square metres, length 23m, width 14m, height 9.2m, weight 75 tonnes. It had to be thoroughly braced before being jacked up. Two trucks were required to rotate it. It took 2 hours to move 1.5km on a specialised 5-axle truck designed to evenly distribute the weight.
The full article appears on the online version of the paper here.
