Its transportation was aboard a specially designed heavy transporter vehicle which has strengthened suspension - with its tyres packing about 100psi. On Monday the shift crew began using about 20 strong-lift synchronised hydraulic jacks to the ease the house from its foundations. Mr Baker said Tuesday night's "delivery" was pretty straight forward with the transporter-borne house driven into place, the synchronised jacks arranged and applied, and the house eventually lowered on to its new foundations after the transporter was driven away. All 30 tonnes of it, which was well-lit and well-accompanied, went on a cautious two-hour journey from King St to Chaucer Rd. "They stand out and people are seeing it better - we've had a great response from people we come across."
