Part 2 of My Flying House.

[GreenPartyVoter]

Here's the video of the front half getting hauled up by the crane. (Also in high def for the patient.) The back half and inside pics are in separate posts. (I missed the roof raising. :( I had to go home and get lunch and recharge my camera battery a little bit.)



























(Earlier project pics here, here, and here.)

1. My dear GreenPartyVoter!

Wow!

The video is fascinating! I can imagine how excited you were to be there watching it happen!

I'm really really happy for you and your whole family...

This is going to be so great for all of you!

Congrats!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Thanks, Peggy! Did you see the video from the other post? That noise just about

made me jump up out of my chair. LOL

Thanks for your well-wishes and support! Hopefully things will keep moving along and we can have Thanksgiving there this year. :D (We want to be in by October, but we'll see how it goes.)

5. I haven't seen them yet, but I will!

I've been tending my big contentious thread in GD! I came over here for a break...

:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. I missed out on a contentious thread? Dang! LOL Good luck with it. :^)

3. So, when can I come over???!!!

Just kidding...

This place is absolutely lovely!

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. LOL Thanks!

[Tallulah]

4. That was cool !!

Thank you for sharing. I'm excited for you too !

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. I can't wait til it's done! I just wish I could guess how long that actually will be. :^D

10. really really nice

the roof on pic gives a good look at the overall setup with the land.

You placed it well..it sets back just enough

[Gormy Cuss]

11. It's a good thing the roof is already shingled. You want to talk loud? Roofers over your head!

Why is there an unshingled section over the front door?

Those look like dimensional shingles -- if so, they really look so much better than the old flatter style.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. There is a saddle roof and porch coming eventually. It'll look like this:

I don't have my rocking chair yet, but I will definitely be getting one! :woohoo:

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. I know how thrilled you are about having such a lovely home.

Nice to see you have a basement of sorts, not just a slab.
The house looks sturdy.
Good insulation?

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Yah, the insulation seems pretty good. :^D It's been comfy in there so far.

[Gormy Cuss]

18. Ah! Now that's a porch. n/t

[backwoodsbob]

14. one Japanese Maple

or I send skittles

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Hubby was just talking about how he wants one. :^D

[Tom_Foolery]

15. That is a beautiful house...

I hope you have many years of happiness in it.

[Capn Sunshine]

16. That's very cool...is there a garage for the Hummer?

I kid! I kid! Actually, I've always wanted to do this, as have many here and in the real world beyond DU.

What state is that?

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. If I bought a Hummer my parents would return from the grave to haunt me, and then

they'd take the house back as punishment. LOL

We're located in Maine, and I can't wait to be in a snug warm house this winter instead of this trailer. :scared:

[auntAgonist]

20. you're going to love it !!

I love seeing your photos too. It's very exciting.
