Week of 2/2/15 – Drumroll again…and another NEWSFLASH: the house is back in place! Yep, impending rain motivated our movers to hustle the schedule and get our dear Norwood House back on top of the hill. Over the last week, the grade beam was backfilled with soil, the pad leveled and raked, and all was readied. James even covered the entire pad to keep it dry during weekend drizzle. We were all surprised to get word that the move was a “go” a day early, but hey, no looking a gift horse in the mouth. The mini-journey back was full of stop & go, wiggling the entire beamed contraption back & forth on giant dolly wheels as the structure was correctly pivoted into exact lineup with the new grade beam. My understanding is that after the big rig pulled away, there might be slippery Dove soap, cables, a bobcat & a large group of burly men to tweak the positioning, but we’ll get the full scoop later.
The great news is that February 2nd of 2015 will stand as Norcliff’s last & final day of ever being an orphan. It’s back where it belongs, in its correct, original historical location. No more journeys for this bungalow – ever!
