Thought you might enjoy seeing a few of the pictures of the men working on the house towards the end. They are taking the rails out from under the house in the first picture.
Robert Coates, the boss man, is shown opposite. What a sweetie. Never grumpy. Never has an off day. The minute he opens his mouth to speak, there's a smile chasing every word. As John says, the mark of a man who loves what he does.
The third picture (above, right) shows just what brute strength is required to lift a house. Every man on the crew was as strong as two ox.
And finally another view under the house. You see the remains of one of the cribs on the right. We don't get to keep that wood. It gets loaded back on their truck for the next move/lift someplace else. I'm told there's a house move today in Twillingate. We might go up and have a look.
