Some houses fair a lot better than others. Serendipity, the house in the movie Nights in Rodanthe, was being reclaimed by the sea. A storm in October 2008 just about finished it off. Dare County served notice that the house was a public nuisance and had to be moved or torn down. The Pennsylvania couple who owned it decided to level it.
Along came a couple from Western North Carolina who fell in love with the house. They purchased it and moved it to a less precarious spot in Rodanthe. Just amazing!
Each locality seems to have its own set of problems, doesn’t it. Neighorhood Services in Dare County probably operates a little different there than it does here. I had no idea how houses were moved. You can see Serendipity move right off its pilings and onto the truck. It looks impossible, but they did it!
You might want to turn the sound down. The music got annoying real fast.
