When getting a permit to move a building a half mile by road becomes an issue...and he wants his new office pronto...
I like my one bosses' approach...move it the back door way...
Here's one of the other house moves.
Moved a house from Barnegat Inlet, NJ to the north shore at East Island on Long Island.
yep!The old #9 house! We saw it leave and are pretty sure we saw it in its new location while cruising down the Sound one day.

I guess it's becoming more popular as it is harder to move by road and more companies are getting experience using barges.A good friend of mine owned a very nice house in Vero Beach Florida. It was on the water. He wanted to build a bigger house on the lot. He ended up giving the old house to the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian had it put on a barge and moved a few miles south to their research station in Ft. Pierce. They use it as living quarters for visiting scientists.
