[edit] Inclusion suggestions

I'm not sure if it's notable enough for inclusion here... the Coney Island Parachute Jump? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip-off - I'll take a look at adding it in. violet/riga (t) 19:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Also don't know if it's suitable for inclusion, but there are some references to structure relocation in fiction - particuarly of well-known structures. The most immediate one that springs to mind is the episode of Thunderbirds (TV series) where they move the Empire State Building. -dmmaus 23:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah - I've been thinking about that one but I'm still not sure. There's also The Crimson Permanent Assurance, and I'm sure I've seen some things about houses on legs... violet/riga (t) 23:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Baba Yaga "lives in a log cabin that moves around by means of a pair of chicken legs". —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 23:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Although having thought about it, I think including fictional examples at all will dilute the article. It is very easy and uninteresting to write "and then they moved the White House on a big truck to St. Louis" and very difficult and interesting to actually do so. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stonehenge

The example of stones for Stonehenge is supply of building materials not relocation.--189.165.28.198 23:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

That's a very good point, thanks. violet/riga (t) 23:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Let me in!!

I think a link should be added to our website. We have awsome pictures of houses being moved and will soon be adding a video page. Give us a look www.aabchousemoving.com. Thanks (Billyhousemover 01:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Bring up to B grade

At least one person has volunteered to assist in upgrading the quality of this article, so here are some suggestions.

  1. Reference the intro and theory sections
  2. Expand the theory to cover more of the process and problems, economics, politics
  3. increase covereage of non notable moves, as that is the most common activity
  4. Some coverage of companies
  5. History
  6. Book references
  7. relation to transportable buildings
  8. pictures of the process
  9. whole town moves like Adaminaby.
  10. The article is severly orphaned and needs more incoming links
  11. more categories would also be appropriate
