Didn't know your house was damaged. Do they build new foundations & then wheel the house into position or wheel the house out of the way before repairing the existing foundations? Moving wooden houses to new locations is not entirely fanciful - I remember a shot of a whole house on a big low-bed being moved to a new location in the USA.

Subject: PESO: House on Wheels

A cellphone snapshot on my way home from the pool. This house is on the corner at the end of our street and I've been watching with interest as they jack it up to repair the earthquake-damaged foundations. Today I was passing it on its other side and saw wheels.

They're just getting started with the repairs to our house - we moved into a rental house the other day. A stressful and exhausting process even though most of our possessions have been packed and moved into storage. Our repairs are due to take about 5 weeks, then we get to move back. The upside is that our house is completely empty so we get to have a good cleanout and maybe rearrange a bit.

This is our first experience using a moving company to do all of our packing and it's been really good. What's even better is that it's all being paid for by insurance :) If I'd had my way I'd have told them to take everything to Wanaka but reality had something else to say.

Cheers,
Dave
