Tiny Move

Maya and I rented a 3/4 ton pickup truck this afternoon and spent a total of 5 hours moving her tiny house from the River House lot to the Road House lot. A two-phase procedure was required to exit the driveway. We backed the house out from its plot while aligning it with the driveway. Next, we decoupled the truck, and drove it around the tiny house and up the driveway (the back of the house appears jacked up to its full height in the photo above during the decoupling operation). We then recoupled and began the 1.5-mile trip to the Road House. On the way, we encountered some low-hanging phone lines which caused a minor delay. Maya fashioned a scaffolding in the bed of the truck and used a long pole to lift the wires over the roof as I slowly advanced the truck. The rest of the journey was uneventful and the tiny house is now parked in our backyard where Maya will complete the remaining interior bathroom and trim work before starting her new job at Formlabs on July 1.
