"A Tale Of Three Houses"

Macon's Parade of Homes

October 22nd and 23rd

2011

 This is the location and the sequence that the three houses will have once the moving infrastructure is removed and the appropriate walls are constructed.

This view allows you to appreciate the wheels and the steel placement under the houses so that they could be moved.

 These Truck Tractors are build for slow house moving duty.  Note the large wheels/tires.  I would hate to have to buy replacement tires for this equipment.

 Now we know why the back of the houses was at the other end of the steel beams that hooked up to the Trucks that pulled these houses to the new location.  The front porch now faces Oglethorpe Street.

This view allows you to see the cement foundations that were in place prior to the houses being pulled to this location.

A close up of the concrete foundations.  Each house is setting above these foundations so that once they are jacked up to remove the moving equipment they can be lowered to the appropriate height so that the walls can be constructed.

Another view of these three houses.  They will be in the 1000 Block of Oglethorpe Street.  This block is between Ross and Calhoun Streets. 

Please be aware that these pictures were taken on Monday, October 24th by the originator of this Blog, the Flower Child.

I suspect that as the construction phase of this project progresses that you will see more Blog Post.
