I love the Fortunate Son playing. I just picture the guy with the house hopping in the truck, putting on some aviator shades and going "Fuck it, let's do it."
It just blows my mind that someone would go through all the trouble to physically remove a house from the ground, place it on a truck, and then... this.
One would think that getting all the equipment to lift the house and get it on the truck would have been the problematic part, not measuring the overpasses along the route. Of course, "one would think", just not THIS "one".
It's more likely something like "We're declining to provide a permit until you get an engineer to stamp your plan" followed by 5 different engineers telling the guy he's dumb and the plan won't work, in turn followed by the guy just fucking going for it.
It looked to me like the driver was stopping next to the other vehicle to block the road (preventing others from driving over it) while they got the debris out of the road

No joke; we found a wall in our house that was lined with The Herald dating back to 1924. A friend purchased an old fishing shack near Shelbourne decades ago that used actual seaweed as insulation.
Us Bluenosers are resourceful, what can I say. 🤷♀️
My old house on the south shore had layers of newsprint between the oil cloth flooring. Oldest I found was 1920's. The laths in the wall that hold the plaster, some of them were pieces of old crates, surprise soap, millionaire sardines... Pretty cool, really.
Part of our house was originally the mining office & stables for the old gold mines in the area. We've done numerous renovations since we purchased in 1972, so not much except one wall is still original. We've found all kinds of stuff like an old mining helmet with the original carbide headlamp, hand-carved clay and bone pipes, hundreds of square-head nails, pick axes, and even a few horse shoes when we dug out the basement. Every few years my lawn mower catches bits of nails & other pieces of rusted old metal that works its way up through the ground.
We also recently discovered that we're sitting on 3 untouched gold seams that were surveyed back the 20s. One of them is directly under the house, about 30 feet below the basement floor. We have 4 mine shafts that are visible in the back yard that were backfilled in the 40's/50's, but we were told they were long since depleted. Then a chance conversation with someone from DNR resulted in him sending us a copy of a survey map. My jaw hit the floor. If they can be mined, just one of those seams could produce a few thousand ounces alone.
There are going to be restrictions that will prevent us from easily accessing it (local bylaws, provincial regulations etc) but we're considering getting a lawyer to look into it.
I can honestly point at my back yard and say "there's gold in them thar hills". 🤣
Two East coasters were driving in a big rig with a large load one day, and came upon a yellow warning sign at the side of the road. The sign said:
LOW BRIDGE AHEAD: 3.6 METER / 12 FOOT CLEARANCE
The two stop their rig at the side of the road and get out. The passenger pulls out a measuring tape, climbs up on the trailer and measures the height of the load on the truck... He yells down to the driver:
"Hey, it's 14 feet tall, what should we do?"
The driver thinks for a minute, and then yells back up at the passenger:
We have trucks pealing off the roofs of semis all the time at the end of our block. We’ve lived here since 87. Up until 2000 only one truck has ever hit the viaduct. It’s clearly marked & even has flags on the height sign. It’s nearly a weekly experience now. Then the railroad has to come out & make sure it’s safe. Last week they had to get a crane to pull out the truck, it was so wedged.
It's weird to think somebody could just like call as their buddies get them over to put a house up on a trailer and drive it with no thought about permits or mapping at a route that's not going to take you under low bridges.
I saw a truck driver take down all kind of street lights transporting an home through a suburb of Atlanta! It’s amazing that you can strap a house to a truck and start driving!
This reminds me of the YT channel description for the 11" 8' railroad bridge.
and it has earned a reputation for for its rigorous enforcement of the laws of physics. No truck taller than 11 feet and 8 inches will pass under this stubborn piece of infrastructure. Period.
This was actually a pro move, he needed to move the house, so he did, and now it’s also going to go under all the other bridges just fine, patch up the roof after no big deal.

I never considered fortunate son as house music
I hate you. Now take my up vote.
r/Angryupvote
This is a remix that needs to happen.
Right, like clearly it was more of a "Free bird" house music kinda house.
Fuck you. I mean thank you. No, maybe I mean fuck you. Whatever, you still got the upvote
The way of the road, boys.
I guess we didn't deflate the tires enough!
CCR gives zero fucks
Fuck the Roof

"Meh, she's close enough b'yes!"
Pardon my ignorance, but wtf does "b'yes" mean?
"boys". More of a Newfoundland thing than Nova Scotia tbh
If Trailer Park Boys taught me anything about Nova Scotia... they just say "boys."
Gotcha, thanks

"I'll show all of them!"
The ol Sunday permit. Their only mistake was doing it in daylight.
If it don't look right, haul it at night.
Sunday permits feel like church. Slip in late, knees sore, whisper yes to something heavy, and trust it’ll move without anyone asking how.
Hot shingles in your area.

Easy way to add a sunlight.
Dude shaved me bare
Gave me a lollipop
There wasn't a shingle thing they could do about this....
The house didn't stud a chance
One might say they hit their peak.
I'm not gable to take any more of these
It's hard to when you frame it this way.
They saw a window of oppotunity
I'm guttered by all these comments
“truss me, we got this”. The driver - probably
"Newly ventilated attic"
How to install a ridge vent in an existing structure.
How to bridge the trusses?
Is there a second stupid prize for driving over shattered roofing materials which undoubtedly include nails and tacks pointing in all directions?
I did chuckle at the last few seconds...
"Puncture detected"
I thought it was "Crash event detected"
It was. I dunno how a dash cam would detect a puncture lol
It looked to me like the driver was stopping next to the other vehicle to block the road (preventing others from driving over it) while they got the debris out of the road
"Way she goes boys"
this must be why Ricky couldn’t get his double wide in time!
Hopefully they get charged for this, damaging a bridge.
*damaging TWO bridges
These movers are ruthless.
The house is now roofless.
The law is probably toothless
You guys are clear now, no point in stopping anymore.
No point on the roof either 😀
Ricky and Julian leaving Sunnyvale?
You know Jim, or Jim knows you?
Gold star, sir.
Wow, can't even quote the show here!

That soundtrack is so fucking awesome with this.
Free skylight!
It certainly saved some in labour.
Now that's fortunate, son.
We do some dumb things here in NS, like putting in skylights using bridges. It's cheaper than hiring a contractor! 🤣
Normally we do renovation by homelite or Poulan... Haven't done renovation with an overpass yet,
Haven't you heard? It's the biggest thing in renos since newspaper and seaweed insulation. 🤣

Eh, who needs a roof anyway?
They needed to load one more house on the vehicle
Eh its just a little off the top

The driver thinks for a minute, and then yells back up at the passenger:
"We'll be ok, there's no police around!"
Why do I get the feeling that "East coasters" is a euphemism for some other class of people who are commonly the brunt of 'stupid jokes'?
Someone forgot to convert yards to meters.
We have trucks pealing off the roofs of semis all the time at the end of our block. We’ve lived here since 87. Up until 2000 only one truck has ever hit the viaduct. It’s clearly marked & even has flags on the height sign. It’s nearly a weekly experience now. Then the railroad has to come out & make sure it’s safe. Last week they had to get a crane to pull out the truck, it was so wedged.
That’s what I was waiting for. To see the roof damage.
The ceiling is the limit
🤪
It's self clearancing lol.
It’s just a flesh wound…
He should have removed some of the air in the tires….lol
Think they'd be rolling on the rims to clear that mess!
Bro hit that overpass so hard the video had to buffer for me when it hit
It's weird to think somebody could just like call as their buddies get them over to put a house up on a trailer and drive it with no thought about permits or mapping at a route that's not going to take you under low bridges.
Just a little off the top, please...
“Ehh, how about a little more.”.
“ No problem, another bridge in a quarter mile”
“Son, we are moving, but we don’t have to pack this time!”
Just a little off the top plz...this is PEAK entertainment
Our house, In the middle of the street, our house.
We call that a Nova Scotia clipper
Bro carrying his trade to the nearest Porsche dealership
Canadian Seth Rogen going "Holy fuck, there we go!" as if he knew what was coming way in advance lol
How did I not know Nova Scotia was in Canada?
Where did you think it was located?
On oak island
Contextually when I've heard about it I always thought it was tropical or subtropical so I assumed it was a lot further south
Not feeling very tropical today that’s for sure. Did you think tropical due to the only time you hear about us is when a hurricane hits us?
DEFINITELY not tropical. -10c right now
Did you go to school in the US? If so, that’s understandable
Yeah, I did. I try to not be ignorant about geography, but guess I never bothered checking where Nova Scotia was
Some people think Alaska and Hawaii are next to each other off the west coast, depending on which condensed US map they were most exposed to.
Where did you think it was
Near Luna Scotia, of course
Nah thats in the other hemisphere
Is this sarcastic or you thought Nova Scotia was somewhere else?
this is literally one of the final jokes in the movie "The Campaign" https://youtu.be/jrWe5lQyAGk?si=cpq94qsGNNFgeKBp
Are you from the USA? That might be why.
This is a complete Nova Scotia moment
That's how they do it on the east coast, nothing to see here.
You misspelled best coast 😄
Depreciation
Just scrapping off excess pieces
I keep imagining the driver as an angry Russian dude
Grandpa thought he was being clever when he left Alex the house and Betty the land. He thought it’d force them to work together and make amends.
He thought wrong.
On the bright side, Betty no longer has to explain to family members why she doesn’t talk to her brother anymore.
Yup…
“Just a little off the top.”
Parliament's "Tear the Roof Off the Sucker" plays in the background (there's a whole lot of shingles goin' down)
Trust me bro
Only like 10% damage should still get mission complete lol
This is why we have to get permits when we have to transport larger items.
Typical day in ohio
If you don’t have parts left over after you do a thing then you’re not doing that thing correctly.
Newly installed skylight!
Complete with cursing Canadians - amazing
You’re good… you’re good… you’re good…
WHERE THE HELL DID THAT BRIDGE COME FROM!
CAME OUTTA NOWHERE!
If this dipshit follow van kept more distance he would be able to see more and actually warn them.
It's no longer a house but just a basement
That bridge was so bangin that it nearly brought the house down.
Friggin awesome
Cory and Trever.
To have gotten it that far in the process, only to go to sleep.... Ouch.
That has to be a unique post title, right? You don’t read a sentence like that more than once 🤣
Damn you know the werent rich to begin with
That’s the quickest way to add a skylight roof to your home.
I feel bad for the owners. They likely aren’t the ones driving. They probably just paid a company that claimed they were professionals to do the job.
r/idiotstowingthings
now they have a ridge vent
Was Red Green involved in this?
Give'r Bouy!
An efficient way to add a ridge vent.
Its fine we can do the roof later
Meh. Repairable.
Well by the third bridge they should clear it!
Just casually moving the From set.
Noice
I want to insurance claim demanding roof replacement due to Hurricane Bridge Impact.
The house look like a rummage sale.
Measure twice, drive once?
Leave them alone
I saw a truck driver take down all kind of street lights transporting an home through a suburb of Atlanta! It’s amazing that you can strap a house to a truck and start driving!
That’ll buff out
“Just a bit off the top today, thanks.”
This reminds me of the YT channel description for the 11" 8' railroad bridge.
Those bridges can't stop him, cause he can't read!
Man, I hope that guy has bridge insurance
"So what caused the damage to your roof? Storm knocked over a tree or something?"
"Nah. Low bridge."
He bought the house for the spare parts anyway.
C'mon now, that was the last of two bridges!
This was actually a pro move, he needed to move the house, so he did, and now it’s also going to go under all the other bridges just fine, patch up the roof after no big deal.
Why would they stop the video there? I want to see more house removal.

How many nails did bro run over? Haha
This is that one scene from Bolt
“Just a little bit of the top please “
Unfortunate son
Crazy he doubled down on his fuck up
I don’t get the honking. Do you actually think the driver didn’t feel every millimetre of that collision? It’ll haunt him for life.
There goes the neighborhood
Just a little bit off the top!
This.... THIS is why America never fully adopted the metric system.

The rare instance where the clip is improved by turning up the volume. 🤣
How do we know it's illegal? Stupid, certainly.
What makes you guys think they haven’t gone through all of the correct procedures?
