Home 2a

This is the house in its original location, pre-bisection.

Home 2b

Here we go.

Home 2c

Moving down Texas Avenue to the new location.

Home 2d

Preparing the foundation.

Home 2e

Both parts of the house in place on site. The right half
sits on the new foundation, waiting for the other half
to be pulled over to make the house whole again.
The house mover said he was very impressed with how well
the foundation "fit" the odd shape of the house.
He was in the process of moving a similar house to Waller
and told me that that foundation did not fit.
I was very thankful to not be that contractor.

Home 2f

The two halves are back together successfully, and
now the fun begins. The masons are way up high
building the back chimney with original bricks.
They did such a good job making both chimneys look
old that people asked how we moved the house
with the chimneys intact. The back portion needs
a roof, among other things.

Home 2g

The back portion housing the kitchen on this side
has its roof. Windows and doors are all in, and
now you can walk up into the side porch. A better
view of the "old" chimneys and the other finishes in
progress make a statement that this house should
be good for another 100 years.
