It’s not ever day you see a...

It’s not ever day you see a house swinging from a crane and placed

like a puzzle piece on a empty lot.

When I got the call to cover this, part of me thought this was

just a lot of hype.

I was wrong. All the worker bees ran around removing tires from

the trailer like a pit crew at the Indy 500.

To see guys crawling underneath the home as it sat just a couple

of feet off the ground made me think how dangerous this was. I

thought of the Wicked Witch squashed under Dorothy’s house. Within

minutes, they had the house shifting through the air above 32nd

Street.

I found myself, like everyone else, a spectator just watching in

amazement.
