The House That Ran Away on September 28, 2008
|
![]() Gini, the worker guy, Susan, and Chuck partying. Trying to remain calm before the move |
![]() Here I am, ready to sneak away in all the excitement |
![]() But first, lets check the wheels and make sure they're all there |
![]() Come on, come on. Let's go... NOW! I'm waiting! |
![]() Like a speed boat I set off at a fast rate of speed |
![]() And I'm ready for the big turn. The guy in front will catch me if I fall |
![]() "I'm getting sea sick. Come on dudes stop rocking the boat." |
![]() And, we do get stuck in the dirt. Lots of that happened today |
![]() "After you check the tires, please wash the windshield" |
![]() The workers bring in plywood to help me "float" over the soft stuff |
![]() Half way through the first corner, 2 hours into the getaway and we haven't gone more than 20 feet. |
![]() "Okay, okay, I'm ready like a finely tuned race horse" |
![]() "Stop pushing okay?" |
![]() "Eat my dust baby!" |
![]() Boy, that pole and those wires were close |
![]() We made it past the pole and we're powering up to at least 2 miles per hour |
![]() We managed to score a Christmas wreath along the way |
![]() We've stopped and we're backing up |
![]() "Okay, I'm pretty good at backing up" |
![]() "Let's see... 3 inches to the left Herb!" |
![]() "Hey guys, please check the tires AGAIN. Thanks" |
![]() "Caution" Christmas tree on the left. Do not damage |
![]() Looking good in back. Even have firewood for the winter. |
![]() Here are the guys, ready for breakfast. FINISH THE JOB FIRST GUYS! |
![]() Again, what's with the plywood dudes? We sinking? |
![]() Oooops. The truck had to go wee wee |
![]() And the truck driver trying to figure out how to get to IHOP for breakfast |
![]() Again, what's with the plywood dudes? We sinking? |
![]() Yeah, chains will really help a sinking truck |
![]() Gini, Fred and Susan taking it all in stride |
![]() And Fred's ready to rent |
![]() Wasn't this house in the movie Psycho? |
![]() I'm stuck, the crew is hungry, and I want to cry! |
![]() Here come my friend the track-hoe. "Thought we lost you dude." |
![]() Mr track-hoe giving us a big push. |
![]() And giving us a 2nd big push |
![]() My support crew putting the electrical and cable wires back in place |
![]() Hhhmmmmm |
![]() If I suddenly leap backward my team will catch me |
![]() "George I've heard about the pancakes at IHOP restaurant. Let's sneak away." |
![]() "Listen here Luke, finish tying off the house so it won't float away." |
![]() "Okay. Sorry." |
![]() Almost in the right spot |
![]() Again, almost in the right spot |
![]() I'M THERE. YEAH! |
![]() Here I am with my new house friends on either side |
![]() Fred and Susan telling the guys where IHOP restaurant is |
![]() Do I look beautiful or what? |
![]() And here is where the house came from after I abandoned the old site and snuck away. |
![]() "Are you sure the house is parked and tied up to the dock?" |
