House Moving

I can highly recommend the mover, Brian Payne from Strafford, New
Hampshire (http://www.paynebuildingmovers.com/).  A few years ago he
moved an 800 ton brick house in Springfield for SPNEA (Historic New  
England).  He moved the 1733 Rawson House for us two years ago.  I  
got estimates from the four principal house movers in New England,  
including Northeast.  The estimates differed by a factor of two.
