It is now closing in on 7:30 pm. Darkness is not our friend. Oblvious to what it takes to move a building at this point we thing-ok all he has to do is get this down here, whip it around back it in and put a few blocks under it.
Wrong.
Well-the truck makes the turn and the neck of the trailer hits the gravel and gets stuck! Great now what! They decide only one option-detach the truck, move the "stronger truck", aka broken transmission truck, into place to pull it out. This change of trucks takes another 45 mintues because they can't get the hitch to go on the truck.
Finally, they get the truck hooked up. Now to get it to move. The driver starts it pulls forward and the truck shuts off. This happens three times. The sun is long gone. You can smell his transmission fluid-he just keeps putting more into to keep it going. One last shot and he gets it going and pulls it down taking out part of a tree and a small part of the roof! I for one was no where near it as it came down the small hill. Hey, but at least it is no longer in the street.
