Week of 12/1/14 – Newsflash – the house is moved! What a wonderful step forward for the project. Our crew with River City Structural Movers did an amazing job loading the bungalow onto enormous steel beams, bracing the interior, and wiggling the entire apparatus back & forth with a big truck and some very clever dolly wheels. Norcliff is now tucked away on blocks about a hundred feet northwest of where it belongs, leaving room for construction of the new foundation. It’s simply an amazing sight for all of us who’ve been working on this project for many years. The next crew will very shortly begin demo and removal of whatever old piers & basement remnants are still in the ground. Then make way for the drillers.
Now we take a collective deep breath and ready ourselves for the work ahead – growing the foundation, completing plans for the Phase II work, and launching a fundraising campaign. Our thanks to all the many friends of Norwood who’ve helped to make this great progress possible. We’re doing it!
