There is a house moving firm located outside Albany, New York. I was one of
many crew members who helped when this firm -- the name of which I cannot
remember presently -- moved the Crocheron House four miles across Staten
Island (from a location on Woodrow Road south of the Fresh Kills landfill to
Richmondtown Restoration). Much excitement when the driveshaft on the large
truck -- red Diamond REO, as I recall -- exploded under load. Small truck
they had at hand couldn't get the 400 ton dwelling to budge. Police escort
across Outerbridge to truck garage in New Jersey -- which just happened to
have one piece of the right stock for the drive shaft available -- got the
show on the road in a few hours.
Free lunch to anyone who can tell me why the shaft broke.

Subject: Moving a House
I got an inquiry from no one I know asking if we can identify someone who
can move a house located in Jamesburg, New Jersey in order to keep it form
being demolished. The photo I received shows a frame house with
clapboards, 45' tall ? (it looks shorter), probably to be broken down into
sections (wings). The note says "There are a number of overhead wires
around...) I don't know how far he wants it moved.
We moved a tall masonry theater building along 42 Street, and are studying
another move at Newark Airport, but this is a smaller scale practical
matter for someone who seems to want to do the right thing. Any ideas?
][<? Thanks. --Jim Rhodes
