On a more practical note, you have to wonder just exactly HOW they got the house off where the bridge USED to be. It's too big to lift, and there's nothing under it to roll it on, and way too heavy to simply drag, so how did they move it? The only explanation is that they must have demolished it piece by piece! Bummer!!

It might still be there Whizz. They may have built another road around it.

It would be a great view out the front window! but getting in to either garage would be bloody difficult! and you'd need to watch it when you stepped out the front door!

One of those bridge tanks if there was enough room for it to fit underneath the house might work.......

Makes you wonder. They should be checking the route, making sure there weren't obstacles in the way.

Just knock the end and middle walls out and you've got a covered bridge.

They're very practical in snow country!

Not quite "thinking outside the box". More like inside the house.

C.mon" how weak was that bridge

The house spread over a few dollies would not of weighed much, in fact no way near the weight of a normal tipper or semi???????
In fact the truck towing it most likely weighed heaps more than what it was towing??????
