House Moving

Even though Robertson Pools has done an amazing job with our pool, I was disappointed to hear this week they weren't able to budge the playhouse! Really, it's tough to be too upset about it, but if Grandpa wasn't so capable with moving heavy equipment, this would have been a real pain (we think it weighs about 1,500 lb).

Here's where the house was after the re-grade last week:

We ended up having to borrow some pipe from the fence guys, and bought six landscaping timbers to make a rail system for the house to ride on. Then it was just a matter of winching the house up to the dirt pad. Here's a picture of the house on the dirt pad still sitting on the pipe:

Finally, after about 5 weeks of sitting back by the fence, the playhouse is where we planned it!

Much thanks to Grandpa for making this happen!
