The Abbey then formally sells the donated home to Millennium Development Inc., who proceeds to locate and purchase appropriate property for the house, begins detailed estimation of moving and restoration costs, and begins coordinating the move and related work. The little 2 story house to the left is currently being assessed for moving potential. The house is structurally in excellent condition. But it is located in an area of town with many overhead wires which must be disconnected and reconnected during a move of several miles. Because of these kinds of eventualities relating to expenses external to the actual ability to move a home, a proposal is being presented to the State for supplemental funding to aid in saving worthy homes and preserving our environment.
Many factors influence the time for moving a house.
The house mover's schedule, finding, purchasing, and preparing land, coordinating utility and law enforcement escorts, and the weather all come into play. Sometimes a house can even be moved to a temporary storage location while other details are arranged. A move can take anywhere from one week to several months. Millennium Development, Inc. tries to make the whole process from donation to move to renovation to resale as efficient and expeditious as possible.
