Moving house literally!

We needed to move our mobile home (with non-mobile extention!) down our yard a bit, in order to lay the foundations for our log cabin. This entailed a Fordson Power Major tractor for the pulling power, fitted with a creeper box to keep the speed at a managable pace so the house wasn't pulled to pieces. At the back you can't see there is a forklift truck behind the green extention, holding things up at the back end, and giving a bit of a push (if you watch carefully at one stage, you see the whole thing twist a bit from this). Then for final support of the extention, two trolly jacks fitted with lawnmower and trailer wheels are used - you can see these being adjusted as necessary during the 32 minute operation (sped up 8 times for a 4 minute video)!
