Engineering Redneck Questions of the Day...

[Spin_Drift]

Q.) How much does a house weigh and

How much can a rural two-lane bridge Hold???

SO! WOULD
THIS BE COVERED BY HOUSE INSURANCE, CAR INSURANCE, OR, DOES
IT COME UNDER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE???

[Greg P H]

I think they should just finish the sun deck....

[TimH]

yea...thats a good spot for the house :-)


its waterfront!

[Andrew Craig-Bennett]

A redneck covered bridge...

[Kaa]

But it is an excellent location for the house. I bet they can even get into the Architectural Digest!

Here's how to do it properly:

[Ian McColgin]

Looks like the pilings failed right when they took the full load. Probably no inspector has looked below soil level in a few decades.

[Greg P H]

All the materials are at hand too! Knock out the endwall so you can have access to the garage.

Only engineering problem I see is that there ain't 'nough boys stannin' around lookin' at it yet....

[Paul Pless]

always gotta be cracking on rednecks... hahaha

Quite a point load they built into that house eh You'd think the house moving company would have looked at the route and at least checked the bridge , I wonder where this happened , road permits , wide load permits ,etc etc.???
Or did they just think "no one will ever find out".

Oddly here in Washington some trucker took out a overpass moving IRRC a wind tunnel tube / tower that was made in Anacortes , destroyed the overpass , or at least damaged it enought to deem it un-sound so it was knocked down by the state.

The same driver hauling a similar load was stopped a month or so later again without proper hualing permits and routes/ planning. Wonder what his insurance cost now

And a week or so ago some bus carrying a H/S softball team sheared the top off the bus trying to go under a bridge in then Arboretum area by U /W.

As an ogf asked once "Where's a Redneck when you need one"?

[Vince Brennan]

Aww, shoot. Jes' wait a minnit and some Good Ole' Boy will be past in a F-150 with about forty foot of log chain. He'll git that thang outta there in nothin' flat!

(An', he's gonna be from Alpharetta!)

[Backfin]

Add a little landscaping and they could have this:

[switters]

I like the floor plan better on the first one.

[Nicholas Scheuer]

Do it right? Hardly! Them Chinese tried four times to get a house across that bridge and failed every time!

Now those Rednecks just need to move the garage door around to one end and they'd have a Toll Bridge. They could probably balance their County Budget with that.

Stone is nice.

[ahp]

That is one of my favorites. Back in the bad old days when they had a party they employed water nymphs to swim around and sing to entertain the guests. Any water nymphs out there?

[Concordia...41]

I think they should just finish the sun deck....

Well, there's plenty of material just sitting there in the water.

" dang willy, i told you to put the garage doors on the end wall"

[Dan McCosh]

Pretty tough house, anyway.

[Phillip Allen]

looks like the beginnings of a covered bridge...what a novel way to "place" one
