In this episode of Massive Moves, viewers are taken on a journey as an old Missouri farm house is relocated to a new property. The episode begins with the current owners of the farm house, Debbie and Bill, discussing their plans to move the house to a new property that they have purchased, so that their children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy the family's history and traditions.
The farm house, which has been in Debbie's family for three generations, is full of memories, and they are determined to preserve it for future generations. However, the size of the house, coupled with the fact that it is over 100 years old, makes the move a daunting task.
To begin with, the team of movers must remove the house from its current foundation. This involves cutting and removing sections of the basement wall, as well as digging underneath the house to install steel beams to support it during the move.
Once the house is jacked up and supported, the team must steer it clear of trees, navigate narrow roads, and cross a bridge that is only just wide enough to accommodate the width of the house.
The journey to the new property is long and fraught with challenges, but despite this, the team's spirits remain high. They work tirelessly to ensure that the house is safely transported to its new location.
Once the house reaches its destination, the team must once again carefully lower it onto its new foundation. This requires a great deal of precision and expertise, as any slight error in positioning could cause the house to become unbalanced and collapse.
Despite the difficulties involved in this massive move, the team is able to successfully relocate the farm house to its new property. Debbie and Bill are overjoyed to see their family's history and memories preserved, and they look forward to creating new memories in their new home.
Overall, this episode of Massive Moves is a heartwarming tale of determination, hard work, and the power of family ties. It is a testament to the enduring human spirit, and the lengths that people will go to preserve the things that matter most to them.
