Step 6. House on ground level

The hydraulic jacks are removed and the house sits exactly on its piles on location. The utility lines like water, gas, electricity and telephones are connected to the house once more at the new location. Landscapers will soon arrive to lay the instant lawn. The whole job will cost around 30K. Some Kiwis prefer to bring their house with them when they move.
If the house is too wide to sit on the trailer, it is first cut down into two smaller pieces for moving on 2 separate trailers. On location it will be reconnected again. The occupants would not know the difference if the job has been done well.
