I rushed outside and managed one shot of this going slowly up the road! I wonder where it is going!
Thankful for:
Google Translate; so I can understand what my Japanese daughter in law is saying when she writes in Japanese.
This was one of the most exciting things I did in NZ all those years ago. I had never seen anyone move a whole house before and we loved following it down the road, drainpipe lightly swinging, curtains still at the windows!
Makes me think of a children's book by Virginia Lee Burton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_House
Author Virginia Lee Burton has stated that ": "The Little House was based on our own little house which we moved from the street into a field of daisies with apple trees growing around."

Isn’t this an amazing sight! I have never heard before about moving houses lock stock & barrel to a new place…only in NZ! I always had to look twice & used to be amazed when people sold their home & it was relocated somewhere entirely different.
I guess they put the roof back on upon arrival?
