They are preparing for the big move. The wood strips are just to help sure up the structure. They have prepared the foundation where its moving to, and they will come back this summer to build the "track" to move it. There is little more than 60-ft left between the base of the ligt and the edge of the bluff. When it gets below 60-ft, its too late, so the move is coming quick. The move will be in August. <BR/>BarbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360078501015636617.post-31042148052194300942007-05-08T22:46:00.000-04:002007-05-08T22:46:00.000-04:00Thanks, service guy.
