1x1 - Monster Moves

In Charlottesville, Virginia, Jerry Matyiko and Joe Jakubik attempt to relocate the ornate, three-storey Varsity Hall to a new plot (above left). Built in 1857, the 500 tonne masonry monster throws up a host of engineering headaches…the walls are weak, the windows are rotting, and an entire wing of the Hall is loose. Will it survive a nail-biting journey downhill intact? On Vancouver Island , Canada , Darren and Tanya Daigle along with their four kids and dog visit a housing lot in search of a brand new home. After much deliberation, they buy a stunning nine-bedroom, three storey Victorian mansion (above right). It’s down to heavy hauling brothers Jeremy and Al lan Nickel to deliver the house to their farm. Crammed with precious features, will the Daigle’s dream home survive a 130 mile journey by land and ocean?
