Man Creates Town Forgotten By Time By Hualing Historical Buildings Across Texas | Huge Moves | Spark

This week on Huge Moves S3 - In Texas, we follow a building collector piece together a historic ‘time that town forgot’. His dream is to move a historic 300-ton stone Ranch to his village, called Star Hill, for his mother to live in. Can a moving team beat cactuses and rattlesnakes to deliver this ultimate gift-wrapped present? In Seattle, newly-weds Tawny and Ian Wilson buy and attempt to move a historic house into the city. Their two-storey dream home is particularly tall. Can Canadian mover Jeremy Nickel move it across land, sea and an active airport and deliver it to their garden intact?
Super-size missions, risky routes, and the biggest cargo on the planet-imagine hauling a submarine over dry land, transporting a fleet of mega-yachts across the Atlantic, or relocating 20 ancient Egyptian temples...and now meet the heavy hauliers who tackle incredible odds to get the job done.

It's so great that people save these homes from demise & recycles them instead of adding to landfills or wasting more needed trees to make our world oxygen thank you, smart people.

Um... They were not trying to be eco friendly tree hugger. They simply found a house and wanted it, lmao.

[@raykomro]

also replacing Old tree's is also good for the Earth as well.. as Young Tree's asorb more C02 than Older ones & doing this also helps manage forest's so older/Dying tree's can be removed before a fire happens from mother natures actions or people that have no-regard for not starting fire's..

wow cool .. how much does it cost for wood in the usa ..

Awesome story and graphics, but that stone house looked a lot better in its original location. Kudos to the guy who may have saved it from demolition, though. Must have got his ideas from Henry Ford's little settlement.

[@russellwilliams4317]

13:56, I do a lot of plumbing and duct work on trailers and houses here in AZ, that look very similar to what you see there. The problem is, this guy lacks common sense to wear a respirator. Fiberglass is no joke and this guy is inhaling a lot of it, especially when it is old and decaying. Wearing a respy sucks when you are working with little to no clearance, but it is a lot better than walking around with oxygen later in life.
