Have you ever seen a house fly?











The big day arrived last Wednesday when my parents new home literally was lifted off the ground and set onto its permanent foundation. It has taken months for the house to be built at the Skyline factory. It is amazing how difficult the process has been to put a second unit onto our property. Permits, resistance from neighbors, soil issues, etc have made, what seemed like an easy idea, difficult. However, the home is here. This does not ensure that my parents will be moving in anytime soon. We still have alot of work to get our barns permitted. We are praying that it will go smoothly. The house itself will be ready in a month. Indoor flooring, the garage, wrap around porch, plumbing and other items need to be completed but the end product will be beautiful. The largest crane that I have ever seen, lifted each half of the house and rotated it into position. Everyone held their breath, hoping that nothing would be destroyed in the move.
