This is the Friggebod sitting at Jennie and Twain's house. We had taken the roof tiles off and actually cut the overhang off so that we didn't have to get a special permit to move it. This was the time of prayers. We didn't know if the house would hold together when it was picked up and it had to go over several bushes and a workshop/barn. The crane truck driver was really amazing. As you will notice in later pictures, the friggebod is two different colors. Two sides are black and two are red. Jennie and Twain wanted the black, but only two sides wher showing, so they painted those sides. The funny thing is that now it will all be red again to match our house in the woods.
This is the truck that moved it.
Althought the kids wanted to be a part of the action, they had to stay on the porch. We were all nervous enough without having to watch kids running around with heavy machinery and a house in the air. They had a lot of fun though. The workshop you see behind them is the one the friggebod had to go over. Twain was praying that it didn't drop on it.
The moment of truth!
It made it over all it need to in one piece. The next step was to move it to our house. The video is pretty cool, but too long to put up here.
