So, to clarify, the contractor didn't know what he was doing and didn't take proper precautions for the soil, weather, or structural integrity - this is what happens when anyone can buy equipment and call himself a home-mover.
Ohhh then you are an perfect being never meet with accident cause your too perfect to do mistakes or accident by yourself and everyone complained about their rivals specially who are in the same buisiness ' Like we never did that 'ever done like this 'this is bad 'we're perfectly good geniuses god like saints ...we know that very well and people's learn from mistakes' the one who never done any mistake probably doesn't know which angle can cause accidents 'mistakes or problems he'll keep doing till one day when he will meet with a bad luck accident or unknowingly doing some mistakes then he'll be backwards from the one who already done mistakes in the past
@@mevineven869 I have seen many houses that have fallen over during the last 30 years and everyone of them came down to opperator negligence, They simply did not watch or allow for what they were doing. Opperator falt.
Any good contractor or supervisor knows when to proceed. Common sense tells anyone other than this supervisor that you don't jack a house when the ground is wet or unstable. He found excuses why if fell other than himself. Donald Trump would have said, you're Fired. He lacks experience.
Cribbing stack was built completely wrong and unstable to begin with, and too high, lacking required cross whalers at mid height. I had been in the same business 42 years without a single incident or injury to anyone.
I can not explain all the particulars in a simple paragraph or two. I am retired now, but could send you some still shots, possibly an old video. Remember this, house moving is 'generational knowledge and skills' business passed down from family to family (my family had been in the business three generations). I learned by watching and doing all the 'grunt' work in the beginning. Much like well drilling, you learn by working for someone or being 'born' into a house moving or 'well drilling family'. There are no schools for either as far as I know. If you make a mistake, it could cost your life or someone else's. I don't think I want to put myself in the position of being a 'house moving' instructor. If you do decide to attempt it, I can however answer individual questions as they arrive.....Gary

Well that is what contractors insurance is for that said why didn't the preinspeçtion catch the termite damage or the water saturation of the soil it sounds like saftey was the last thing on the contractors mind. Glad I don't have to pay his insurance premiums
wet or dry ground, best bet is to lay down a leveled oversize pad to place the said cribbing on and also help to have done a structural inspection prior to lift to look for certain damage that would lead to such disaster, This is why I abhor the use of the word Expert so profusely as no one is a expert, its Experience that matters. That said if this is his first time, then really hope he learned a few lessons, oversize pad and bracing of the cribs are two things I saw they were lacking on top of this no apparent pre-lift structural inspection or repair of or even bracing in the home to prevent failure.
Ive worked on a barn building. We raise it 16 foot or something like that . once u get past the 10 foot range you take other measures to help stability
News people. Don't they just get on your nerves. Why The faces she does when reporting. Margaret the city requires we left the house. Frank the house is old. It's OK I got $100,000 deal to lift the house. But there R termites Frank. It's only 10 feet.
Yeah, government forces you to spend $100,000 to lift your house or move. Yay governement solved the flooding problem. That's how government solves the problem, arrests you for using plastic straws.
Sorry but fema regulations should never apply to existing homes. The government has no right to force a homeowner to spend tens of thousands of dollars to meet a new regulation.
That's what happens when you hire Ricky to elevate a house.

1:11 Enough for me to know why exactly the house fell
1:16 haha hu hee hay hay
Must be funny to him!
The problem was using guys that have no idea what they were doing. I have been doing this in Australia for 30+ years now and have never lost one yet.

Sounds like some sort of attack on Americans. Dont forget they moved the largest building in history
@@ruger51995 what the big d3al with American are they God but to it sound more evils than saints
@@ruger51995 Yes but it was not done with cowboys.
So now you'll have to deliver a new home at no charge right
The problem is simple to find...Too much stupid. It fell for one reason only..it was not supported enough or correctly..
Supervisor my ass.

The fact this idiot was laughing about it really irked me. Like maybe it was nervous laughter knowing he almost got himself killed but good grief!
Donald Trump would also blamed someone else like always
So it was the waters fault it was the termites fault... Certainly not the fault of the house moving company..........

show us how then. i plan on doing this myself in the near future.

I am a fifth generation masonry mover myself, and I will agree to this statement.
@@jimmyschmidt14 its way more complex. Each building is specific also. Hire someone who's done it

My brother in laws parent's house was getting raised, and collapsed as well. It was in West Islip New york
1:35 Don’t: Stack cribbing more than three times its width.

U sir know what you are talking about
1:37 shows what happened.
They didn't inspect well....the Structure...b/4 they raised it..period !
Big Mistake...……. !! . . . bad luck too !
There is NOBODY BETTER, than HOH SIS!
The owner is happy by getting new house or MONEY
All interesting, except the very last word. She should have said destruction, not construction.
WELL WHO PAID FOR THAT?
1:16 what are you laughing at dummy. Have fun with building a new one.
more work=more money lol
Jonathon Vince uh he was actually under it when it started collapsing like he almost died
The new house was built by the same company...
Reminder not to hire tri star construction
Holy damn...10 feet? that's probally trying to raise it too high.
Its standard cause they raise them code about 8nfoot and then they leave room for the concrete people
Ive worked on a barn building. We raise it 16 foot or something like that . once u get past the 10 foot range you take other measures to help stability
How about using a 70ton crane lift the whole sucker up put some cribbing and lay down period !
Possible but way less efficient theres steal beams and hydraulic jack machines
@@ruger51995 naaa
it's ur fault pay for it
Not all this goes well
ive been raising structures of all types for 30 years without any problems in Maine.some times shit happens!!
