Meet Paul Spradley who was filming the house being moved on Neville Island today. I told him about my People at Work project and he consented to be in the show next July. See below to see the video on the KDKA News tonight. There were a LOT of people at work today, moving the house. Even going under the house and ratcheting with a long metal tool to steer and guide the house. They all worked together and had a successful house move. I’ll have to photograph them another day as they were all REALLY busy.
Here’s a linkto the clip on the KDKA evening news
And here are a few stills from the day. The last two are from my friends who invited me down to their neighborhood to see the move. It was an amazing feat. I had to leave to head to Ohio to pick up three grandkids so I missed the 360 degree they executed at the end so the front door faced the street. I did see the utility pole being moved by the Utility Crew so the house could get by. Not sure how many hours the street was without power but it was a long day’s work, not to mention the preparation that was necessary beforehand. It was a beautiful day, not too cold.
