How to Move a House

...it's sort of like giving a mouse a cookie...



First, you get divorced. Then you see a camper parked in the middle of about the only vacant lot in Old Town Napa. Then you recall that two Victorians on the other side of Clay Street need new homes. Then you decide to "move down" and move one of the Victorians to the vacant lot. Then you buy the lot. Then the housing market starts crashing. Then you get married and decide to stay where you are. Then your dear friends Cynthia and Jim say they would like to move a house. Then they buy your lot. Then they spend a lot of money and time to get permits to move a house. Then on Sunday morning at dawn - you move a house. Voila!
