More Monumental Moving

We've posted about the art of physically moving a building before, but nothing on this scale. Just look at the size of it! 123 years old, 6,200 tonnes. Quite a feat!

A Fairytale Ending? We Hope So

Though not the inspiration for the Pixar film, this property has become known as the 'Up' house on account of its appearance and being dwarfed by surrounding buildings. The real life story behind it is almost as fascinating as the film counterpart. Read more below:

Stairwell Renovation

One thing about removals is seeing past the empty house, and forward a few months after you've worked your DIY magic. A classic example below of a stairway renovation. This is the before/after effect you want to envisage when you step through the front door.

The Metro are all doom and gloom - many of our customers approach moving day with a smile and optimism! Needless to say that speaks great volumes about the Yorkshire spirit. Nonetheless, here is their bitesize take on removal planning from last year.

Interstellar Removals

In honour of Major Tim Peake's successful launch yesterday, I took a look at what life would be like aboard the International Space Station. Among many facts - including the bathroom and cleaning habits of astronauts - I learned that Mr. Peake will experience a sunrise every 45 minutes! Quite something.

It will be some time before the 1 Van 1 Man removal shuttle comes into action, but a man can hope. In the meantime, read more about life aboard the ISS here.

Only In Yorkshire: The Teddy Bear House

Stories like this lift your heart on a stormy Monday such as this.

Known as 'The Teddy Bear House', a property in Leven has had the same teddies looking out of the front window for over 40 years. When the time came to sell, the previous owners were delighted to hear that the new occupants will carry on the tradition. The Teddy Bear House is a staple part of Leven, and it goes to demonstrate the small part each house can play in the wider community.

Noah's Ark

Continuing the current series of odd and creative houses, we look at a 'floating house boat' in Silicon Valley. The owner wished to create a survival home that could save his family in the event of a tsunami. In doing so he's pushed the creative envelope of architecture, woodwork and engineering. Good on him.
