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