- Wolfe House & Building Movers specializes in lifting entire buildings out of the ground so they can be transported to new locations entirely. This is done for historic preservation, moving homes away from busy roads, and in flood damage prevention. We look into the logistics of how this happens and why somebody would want to do this.

How Entire Buildings Are Moved
“Yeah boss, sorry I’m late for work, I got stuck behind a giant house this morning.”
why are u always here, and I follow u on insta
SymQuit I’m not on Instagram.
@@andrewglinski4722 oh nvm, ithought u were on insta cause of ur profile pic, it was a mistake heehee😅
underrated comment
😂
So Patrick wasn’t being stupid when he said to move Bikini Bottom.
The video also should've shown how the buildings are laid on the ground
Yeah I was looking forward to watching that 😭😭
GenesisRC & FPV have answered that above. Just Control+F their name and you will be able to find their response and find out.
Id assume its the process of lifting the building in reverse, but i get wanting to see it anyways
I think the platform can rotate and let the house slide down
@@7_v610 wait u could control f to find what your looking for in a comment section!?😯🤯
i will just move by using a balloon
Now thats a movie called Up
😂😂😂UP! 😩😩😩😩😇

Nope, you can't with an "a". You need balloons.
@@dodogonzaga lol
Can you move my school to another continent???
Baby you can move yourself away from school by coming to my continent ☺
Just move it into the bottom of the ocean
@@imsophia4878 ikr, then they'd be truly drowning in their depression...( It is an inside joke with myself)
Hey just tie a single balloon in your roof
Im so glad people are still doing this. Keep it up!
_This company has serving for more than 45 years.._
*TELL ME HOW IT LIFTED, THATS WHY I CAME HERE*
Facts I wanted to see how they got it off the ground to begin with
Weird flex but ok
“Turns out you can!” Turns out I cant cause I don’t got no dolla bills
How do they take it off though
Asking the real question here.
African Souflet that’s what my question is
I have the same question! The video is called "How Entire Buildings Are Moved" though... not how are they lifted. Clever naming to avoid disappointment.
As a house raiser in Ontario I can answer this question. They breifly explained this but I will include more. Most buildings I work are cottages on piers and have a decent crawl space to begin work, for you to slide steel beams under the structure and align, disconnect electrical and plumbing, and so on for prep. The steel beams are then run up to the joists or wood beams, I usually do this with air bags because of the limited clearance. The steel will rest on a jenga block like tower that will be used to lift the structure later. The jenga blocks we use most are 4' pressure treated 6x8. The jenga block towers are called "cribs", and need to have a level base to be built upon otherwise you have unnessessary forces on the structure and it limits the height you can lift. For small structures 2 steel beams parrellel to one another is usually sufficient for support, anything more than that requires "crossers" which are just steel beams running perpendicular to the other ones underneath and get clamped at the intersections. For a 2 main beam 2 crosser setup the desirable situation is to have one crib at each intersection of steel, which is 4 cribs. A hydraulic jack is setup in each crib centered under the steel, and hoses connect each jack to a pump where the operator decides how he wants the structure lifted. For our equipment, we can run our hydraulics at 10,000psi safely, which is 49,000lbs per jack. Most jacks we have are 17 inch stroke, so more jenga blocks are added to the crib and the jacks are reset to go higher. For my work we dont usually move down the road. Typically we slide the building over using rollers on more steel beams, just enough for the contractor to excavate for basement building or pier work. Im open to more questions but thats the general idea
@@GenesisRCyour single comment had more Information than the entire video. Thanks for the general knowledge!
My husband and I were just talking about wanting to move to a new location but not wanting to leave our home and how cool it would be if we could just move our house outside the city. I wonder how much it would cost though.
Did you find out how much this cost?
@@quanishamoody7770 starting around 20k but I'm sure that's for easier moves.
I’m assuming you cannot move your home until the mortgage is paid off?
@@Chelseabredawhat makes you think that they house isn’t paid off
This is very genius idea. I know it's still involve many people, but i can see the future of moving house business, it's gonna be thriving!
Husband : We’re moving!
Wife: what about the house?
Husband: We’re taking it with us!
Pls💀
But.... my basement
My dad moved about 30 houses 12 miles . i live in this neighborhood. He did this in the early 70's.
Someone in my hometown did this many years ago, though I wasn't around to see it, but was always curious about it.
Now, I'm actually going to be involved in such a house move next week, as I'm responsible for the fiber and telephone infrastructure on the public utility poles, for the college where I work! A house is being moved a couple miles downtown, and we have aerial cables that will need to be lifted at that time.
Hi! Im looking at moving a house and your comment caught my eye. We’re going to need to have 30+ power lines that cross over the road lifted for the move. How much money would that cost?
@@oliviabettin8483$45
This is very new to me, I have no idea how this worked! This is why I love this channel ❤️
I never get tired of watching stuff like this. Amazing!
Me who lived in the basement: Guys you forgot something!
This is what I imagined would happen when you moved when I was like 5.
Seriously.
Hello
If you are reading this
Have a great day!! Or morning,maybe night,could be evening. You get the point!😂💖
fyi, i already fcked up my tests, anyways ty xo
Well someone is having a good day and hoping for us to have a good day aswell instead of trolling us
@@windykar3705 💖
Hope you have a great day to octie as well as your friends and family
@@shamanisticburrito9301 thankyou!
Imagine how cool it would be to be in the house while it's moving.
I thought 💭 of that too. Underrated comment
“Uhhh hello, Wolfe House Movers...what building would you like to move?”
Me: “yeah can you move the pentagon?”
Pentagon?
In my country 🇵🇭 moving houses to another place is a tradition and with a little help of our fellow country men it's called bayanihan ( buy-uh-nee-hun ). Especially when a family has a " bahay kubo " ( nipa hut ) the ‘bahay-kubo’, can be moved using wooden poles which are carried from the old place to the new one. By Able-bodied men usually participated in such feats, while women stood and watched, casually chatting and cheering the men on. Afterwards, there was a small gathering as a form of celebration and socialization. The Bayanihan derived from a Filipino word “bayan”, which means nation, town or community. The term bayanihan itself literally means “being in a bayan”, which refers to the spirit of communal unity, work and cooperation to achieve a particular goal.
The Bayanihan spirit is still alive, at least to some extent. There are still people in rural areas that transfer their house into another place and people still help. Unfortunately, the Bayanihan tradition is slowly dying out. It is not practiced as frequently as before.
I am proud being a FILIPINO #LoveYourOwn
The only thing I love is the idea of not needing to pack and pack and pack.. boxes 📦 after boxes. Oh my goodness. Everything is intact and there. How cool
I’m still intact
With enough TNT you can move _any_ building.
What is TNT? Can u please elaborate the process
@@khamrunnisabegum9890 lol. Search google

@@ErselElric thank you 🙂
*when you try to think of a funny comment relating to the video*
came here after a recent Indian Bollywood movie: Sardar ka grandson! :D
man I’m watching it right now
2:16
"Imagine how much effort it took, to lift the over 770 lb building!"
Me: How in the actual fyuk did you manage to find a 770 lb building? LMAO (just a joke, he claimed it was a 387 tons ~= 770,000 lbs)
when you on house arrest
What about furniture in house?
If you actually watched the video they leave the furniture in the house.
3:40 its says they move it with the house
WATCH THE VIDEO U IDIOT!!!
True entertainer watch the video. God damn
*It feels just like home.*
I own a 100 year old farm house. It is built on piers. It is 2 stores tall. I must move it about half a mile to make room for a new sports complex.
My biggest worry are the 2 fireplaces on the outside walls. One chimney houses a fireplace on the first floor and another on the second floor. The other has a fireplace on the fireplace on the first floor.
What is involved in moving the chimneys with the house? How difficult/expensive is it compared to removing the chimneys and fireplaces? They are both solid without cracks or broken bricks. I know you can’t give an exact answer without seeing it. Could you give a general idea?
I have a year to move it or it will be bulldozed. Would it be difficult to get it scheduled?
Thanks in advance.
my house was built in 1900 -- just a small cottage, but i've lived here for almost 30yrs -- would love to move it across country as i need to move back to east coast !! i have become quite accustomed to my little house :)
when willy wonka want you to take over the factory but you would like to stay with your family
Yup, that would have actually made for an interesting part of the movie, if they had actually shown the move. Like did the oompa loompas help out?
What’s insane is that homes used to moved with horses many years ago
The house can be moved to a different location but I wonder, how about its foundation? how deep it is and its durability when an earthquake and hurricane comes?
-welcome to my house-
*welcome to my movable house*
I legit dont know what to comment
The building of Savvinskiy Compound weighing 23,000 tons was moved at night on November 4, 1939 without resetting the residents.
It is the heaviest moved building in Moscow and in the World.
This is fascinating, and well done.
Imagine living near a big building and being away for a day only to come back and see it's not there anymore.
The real definition of moving house
It is called a mobile homes
Go away Steven Matthews!
Did I miss it, was there a estimate
of how much it would cost to move
a house/ building? Wish there had
been… I'd be curious to know that.
These projects are probably over half a million. The average home can be lifted for 10,000$
When entire part of the building is prepared out of cement and run through the road then moving house will play a vital role in economic for purchase and sale of land itself.
How is the foundation got installed again at the new site?
"honey i dont like the view, can we rotate the house to 35 degrees?"
"ofcourse, let me contact the company asap"
This is how me and Diana help Julia's familiy help moving their house.
Damn thats iconic
Iconic? Nope. 👎🏻
Imagine you're moving your whole house. And all of the sudden, a scout boy appear at front door with the dog.
Best way to prank your friends.
I'm moving out from this neighborhood with my house.
No one can stop me. 😂😂😂😂
2:17 - "Imagine how much effort it took to lift the over 770-pound building"
Doesn't seem like lifting 770 pounds would be too difficult of a job for all those people and all that machinery.
Never thought I would see this while living like this really real😳like how they lift it up?
When I Saw this For The First Time Laughing zo hard a big freaking house on Wheels on the on the freaking Road haha🤣
2:15 "to move the over 770 pound building"
Well he's not wrong
Amazing!!!
Simple. Every house will sprout out giant chicken legs like Baba Yaga’s house
So this is how Wonka move the boy house to the factory...
Who’s here after they moved the antique house in San Francisco a week ago? Lol
Me
There is a house near where I live, Ballingdon Hall, in 1972 it was moved up the hill, so it could get a better view of the River Stour Valley!!
Oml then there’s me:
I can hardly pick up my school bag.
When you can't go to your office. The office comes to you.
Good mourning everyone, I hope you all enjoy your day!
Tf
at 2:19 he says *"to lift the over seven hundred and seventy pound building."* And just earlier he has said it weighed 300+ tons
People on My 600 lb Life have weighed more than that house than if it's only 770 lbs.
@@shutupimsofscar3drightnow I made this comment 2 years ago today..... my my my how times have changed since then....
in Cape Girardeau there is a house that was moved from about 1000 miles way. it's a 1700s 9000 sqft house. I wonder how long it took?
What’s the cost though? And what’s the longest distance they would go?
Now I can travel the world without leaving my house!
Gives "we are moving" new meaning.
Can all buildings be moved?
I would’ve liked to hear some cost estimates for this type of move.
In the quarter millions for these projects
*imagine walking down the street and seeing a building MOVING*
Homeowner: “We’re moving”
Starts to pack
Homeowner: “No need to pack we taken the house with us” 😊
They're moving house in my neighborhood the other day we were hoping it would get away from the movers and roll down the hill but no such luck.
Still don't know how it's hoisted off the ground after watching this video
So this explains Charlie’s Chocolate Factories ending
Me: "Hey, I'm moving house this weekend"
My Friend: " really? is the new place bigger?
Me: "no.... I'm literally moving house.."
Transporting such a large home is quite a feat. Utilizing wireless towing lights with amber flashing can be invaluable for assistance at Towaide.
Now the sentence "move house" makes really sence
Can't do that here in UK😶.
Amazing, wow.
Here on some provinces in philippines used this methods but filipinos only carry nippa huts and we call it Bayanihan
So that's how they moved the Myers House from Halloween in Pasadena. That's cool, kinda wish they would've left it in the original spot though
I think the cost of moving a house is higher than building a new one😂
Yet, these guys are doing a great job 👍
Wow great work done...
imagine getting a cab home then forgetting you've moved
Wow m learning something new
can you move an approx 850sf single level house across country?
Can structures be moved further than suggested in this video? Across thousands of miles, instead of 1000 ft?
I want to know this also
I didn't learn how . I want to know how the mechanics and everything works . Exactly how the machinery works and gets up in the platform . but this just showed me it moving on wheels .
This reminds me of that episode of Arrested Development
is there a certain type of loan to get a house moved?
Marvelous
Very very amazing
I like such world mind blowing events medam
I wanted to see how it’s lifted from the foundation
I read the title real quick and I thought the title was “how English Bulldogs are moved” and I’ve never been more ashamed in my life
So Somebody can steal my house 🏡.... 😂
.NBC just showed moving a complex from place to place. take a look at this
It's called UP
Is it possible in other countries?with buildings from other countries?
Just like old traditions of filipino, "Bayanihan".
