Pod People



My youngest brother and his family have a new house.

They moved out of their house 5 weeks ago.

Since then their old house has been demolished and this week their new house was craned in.

The new house was built in a factory (in modules) and then craned into place.

The whole street had to be blocked off (they live in a fairly narrow street) for two days.

It was only supposed to be one day but the 92 ft crane accidentally took out a water main which slowed the 'craneing' down.

Here is one of the 'pods' being craned into position.

And the two youngest residents of the new house watching the big crane build their house.


They start moving their possessions back in tomorrow and plan to be fully moved in by Thursday.

The whole thing is pretty impressive - windows, joinery, almost everything was done in the factory.

The whole thing (demolition, factory house building etc.) was filmed for Better Homes & Gardens.

Can't wait to see the whole process.

It looked pretty impressive from the progress photos my brother showed me; looking forward to seeing the film version.
