So my parents take home remodeling to extreme levels. They have become masters of the art of Home Barging. What is home barging you ask? Well it is moving a home from one location to a new location via a barge on the Puget Sound. Their latest undertaking is their second home barging. The first home they barged is The Salmon Run House You can see all the details of the move by clicking the links. Their latest endeavor is the Eagle Harbor Bay House. They purchased a waterfront lot years ago with the intent of building or barging a home on to the lot. The lot had some initial challenges with soil erosion. They spent about a year looking for the appropriate home for the lot. They found a home that they found was what I felt was settling for something. It was an adobe home with with a tile roof. Which, is not a Northwest style home. They spent a lot of time an energy trying to get that home and the current home owner was a bit wishy-washy about the whole thing.
Then my stepdad Geoff, came across another home that was up for grabs, and that I think was a much better fit for being a Northwestern home and more their taste an style, they did also. So they purchased the home and just today October 14, 2008 two days before their 16th Wedding anniversary the home was barged by Nickel Brothers to it's new location in Eagle Harbor. Check out the details of the move here. The move will be featured on Monster Moves tv show in the near future too.

Wow Alicia that's so cool. I have to tell you that Nickel Brothers are my heros - I have a serious crush on those boys. We used to live in Victoria BC and would watch them move houses in our neighbourhood - I am so in awe of them. How exciting. I am going to go and check the links now.
