If you noticed an extended convoy of emergency vehicles escorting a rather large home early Friday morning, then you were witnessing the transport of one of Habitat for Humanity’s latest projects.
Watch:
Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg moved a recently constructed home from the Red River Ex grounds west of the city to its permanent location at 167 Archibald Street.
The home’s foundation was completed a while ago, but delays were incurred due to construction on potential transport routes and availability of Habitat staff.
“The process of transporting the home is relatively easy since we hire a qualified mover,” said Vern Koop, Habitat’s director of construction. “They make nearly all the arrangements, including getting the permits which makes for a smooth an efficient transporting of the home.”
The Archibald home will be completed when crews of various trades come to complete the interior and inner workings of the 850-square-foot bungalow. The home is scheduled for completion later this fall.
