Ordinary moves from one house to another are difficult enough, but how about this?

A house was recently delivered by Nickel Bros., specialists in structural moving, heavy lifting and transportation, to a lot on Thetis Island.

It was off-loaded at a boat ramp near the corner of Marina Drive and Pilkey Point Road after being barged from Sidney.

At last report, the house was still awaiting a foundation before settling into its new location.
