This morning we were up and out the door by 8am
One of the buildings at church has been moved. The church is going to have some new buildings built.
This meant having to move St Peters an old church that has been used as a lounge area to another area of the church grounds.
What My Home Schooler learnt
technoology/maths/history
Hydraulics can hold a building up
They had to de-connect the deck roof of the building
Had to be careful
Used the beams on the truck to hold the building up
Wheels on the trailer and its wheels work independently from the rest of the truck
The building can be lifted up high
They building had been there 40 years
They had pieces of wood to get the truck up on to the bank
That the building would be on its new site for 15 years which meant Our Home Schooler would be 27 years old.
The men all have to know exactly what they are doing for safety reasons
They are going to hire the hall out. Therefore bring $$ back into the church.
We saw history in the making
The boss uses special whistle sounds to tell the driver what to do
Found an old magazine and a couple of baby Olive trees where the old building had been
That the building use to be a church 40 years ago before it was moved over to us
The truck inched wormed in and out from under the building to be safe and not knock the building
On the way home we saw 3 emu
