I will try and explain how Halley Homes will get the house onto the block of land. How do they get those two big units perfectly next to each other, maneuvering around the posts that the house is going to rest on. These posts are between 60 cm (at the back) and 1.2 m in height at the front, 26 posts in total. And HH is not using a crane to lift everything.
Actually it is quite "simple". There will be no posts when the house is brought in. A few days in advance they will drill 26 big holes in the ground (about 1 m deep and 40 cm diameter) and pour concrete footings for the posts with a steel plate on top, level with the ground. But no posts (yet)! When the house arrives , they will put the two sections exactly where they have to be with a tractor, lift these sections to the final height with a few hydraulic jacks, put wooden blocks under the whole thing and take the wheels off.
Then they will exactly cut the 26 posts to the desired length and weld them to the steel plates that I mentioned before and to the steel frame of the house. Job done.
By the way: there are a few new pictures of the (now painted) house in the photobook.

The house is already finished. But how is it with the seccond chair!!
And then you can also make something to put on your legs????
De tweede stoel is ook klaar ! ze staan nu allebei buiten onder het huis hier, onder een zeil, te wachten op de nieuwe veranda.
Geweldig dat je ook nog Nederlands spreekt.
Ik moet iedere keer erg mijn best doen om je verhaaltjes,als het wat technischer wordt,te snappen.
