My goodness gracious me!

The road was almost blocked off! This was a huge house seemingly all moved together on two trailers and pulled by this monster truck! Where is it going?

[katy]

What an unusual fine! This looks like an amazing undertaking! You have a fabulous POV of this whole process! Great shot!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Steve]

What a great, interesting shot. I always enjoy watching something that large being moved.

[richard saffold]

the driver better know where he is going.

[Osia Strasner]

Wow....what a capture! I have seen a few of these being moved, but nothing this big that it would need to go on two trailers! I always worry about everything being out of whack at the end and cracks occurring on the walls, but I guess it is worth it!

[Lesley Chisholm]

Only in NZ!!!

[Maggiemae]

@panthora I would worry about that too - every little bump in the road! I guess they are ready to adjust it when it ends up in its home!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Did you follow it to find out where it was going? Or is it still there? Crazy experience!

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann I haven't been down to find out, Ann. Haven't seen it in the news either!

[Pat Knowles]

Goodness gracious this is some house moving maggiemae. I hope it hasn't travelled too far.....those drivers must be very skilled to transport such a large house by road. Interesting seeing the truck & whole sight of this.

[Debs Stott]

Now thats the way to move house, no packing and unpacking boxes for weeks on end ...

[Maggiemae]

@dibzgreasley Ha ha, Debs - is this what is called a 'road trip'?

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Did you notice there were curtains in one of the windows, Pat? Goodness - here they might be both in bed!

[Debi 🐩]

I'd love to be able to pick my house up and just move it!

[Delia]

Amazing!

[Joyce]

Wow this is fascinating. It's also a great picture and processing

[Beryl Lloyd]

Waaw !! An instant home !! no waiting for it to be built !!! Great capture Maggiemae !

[Tremerryn]

Gosh, thats an impressive sight - love the vintage truck, unbelievable that it can actually move that house - wonder if the house will arrive intact.

[Phil Cameron]

Moving house or house moving ?!!!
Good catch

[summerfield]

i hope they packed the china and didn't leave any dishes on the table!

[Maggie]

Great capture - for a small house to be moved I was quoted NZ$45,000 recently ... I was looking at buying the section next door and putting a rental property on it - but at my age the sums didn't really make sense and besides which, I can't be bothered being a landlady any more.

[Maggiemae]

@snaphappi Being landlords didn't work out for us either! Got diddled all along the way!

[Terry]

Now that is what I call moving

[Anita Russell]

Amazing it stays in one piece, hope it did not fall off

[Maggiemae]

@neatz I daresay there were lots of people organising this sort of shift! I'm in admiration of a feat like this
!

[Sharon]

Amazing coordination involved I bet, and in a way much easier than packing boxes and unpacking at the other end

[Maggiemae]

@sharrystar I bet they have no crockery in the kitchen cupboards!

[Daisy Miller]

great find and capture

[Bev]

Nice shot, Maggie. We frequently have moving houses on the roads here. It's not uncommon to be driving down the road and come upon half a house and then you pass that half of the house only to meet up with the other half farther down the road!

[Dee L.]

Holy cow! That was an amazing catch.

[Sandy]

What an amazing sight. I like your POV and composition. Before reading the caption, I thought a truck had backed into a house.

[Gillian]

Talk about 'moving house'! Great find!
