Them try but Nigeria engineer will not learn.

They keep giving us box house design every day.

if you try this with a Nigerian house,

let's say you manage to uproot the house, the lifting will shatter everything
same thing i was wondering . How come the lifted it peacefully

Images from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries reveal teams of horses being used to move entire houses to new location.
It's because their houses are not deep root foundation, they're wooden mobile houses.

* Built in 1882

A San Francisco broker paid $400,000 to uproot his entire two-story Victorian house and move it to a new plot six blocks away in downtown San Francisco.

Tim Brown, who bought the six-bedroom home dubbed the Englander house for $2.6million in 2013, has been laying plans for the move for nearly eight years,


After 139 years at 807 Franklin Street in San Francisco, the two-story Victorian house has a new address.

The way they build house in America is completely different from naija.

Mostly wood and not concrete and blocks

They mainly use wood and use brick as aesthetic.

It’s done that way for padding to insulate during cold weather

I notice houses built in the west last very long. Hardly will you find a house this aged in Nigeria still standing tall.

The 80years old building in my town is almost dead, how do they do it? What are we not doing?

our ancestors where busy tying wrapper and playing masquerade with fetish sacrifices and most of all fight each other and leave in mud houses,tufiakwa

[quote author=Explorers post=99320359]* Built in 1882

my question is that, how do they uproot the house? Is it wood house or bricks? if it is bricks it ought to collapse while uprooting.
