The MOVE!!...
Of course the finished product is FAR from done!!
It will look magnificent once it is done!!
Getting it slid over off the foundation with the slide
rails and soap!
Getting the dolly under the schoolhouse!
Yikes... about 30,000 or more pounds above their
heads!!!!!!!
Look what we found...
After sliding the building off the foundation we found this
"chimney footing" (boxed in red in the picture below) It looks like
the chimney may have gone all the way up through the roof with
the stove sitting towards the back of the class room, possibly.
They call this blocking "cribbing"
After the slide rails were removed. Waiting to be pulled
behind a truck!

Home just in time before dark!!
Unload tomorrow!!
Working on getting the addition loaded!
FINALLY!!!
After about 3 hours of work!

Well Flax, are you ready for this??  Ready to watch a
building go down the road?

Even the electric company had to

through.

to school 130 years ago!  Well Minus the
