House building in three easy steps

1. Park truck, attach house to crane, push orange button to start lifting

2. Lift and swing house over hedge

(Note that truck already backed out – the road was probably not closed more than 30 minutes. That’s bad enough between 7:30 and 8 without advance notice, though – the road is a cul-de-sac)

3. Lower onto foundations

OK – these three steps will have to be repeated. As I drove off to work I saw two more big flatbed trucks with the remainder of the house. One with the first (second if you like) floor and one with – ermmm – other bits and pieces.

Photographic details: Exposure 1.28 seconds with the camera on the window sill (hence the decent sharpness and motion blur on the house), f3.2, no flash. It’s actually interesting how much stuff is written into the EXIF data of digital images…
