How much weight can a rural two-lane bridge support?
Would this be covered by house insurance, car insurance, or does it come under roadside assistance?

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

That is going to be one expensive house moving bill. I'd say, in after thought, that burning it down and buying new would have been way less costly.hobie16 wrote:How much does a house weigh?

On the plus side...that's one sturdy double wide, don't you think. Hardly even crinkled the siding.

I'll still come to you for legal advice... I'll just read over your shoulder to make sure you catch everything :p:BRWombat wrote:I really should read these more carefully. My bad.
And I vote for Roadside.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

When moving a house you get special moving insurance..or I should say you CONTRACTOR gets it. Yup, not kidding.hobie16 wrote:How much does a house weigh?

Now if you are smart you get it for the replacement value of the home and a (minimum) million dollar rider for problems like that..or taking out a light pole or....
The structural engineer for that bridge would detemine the weight load. So it depends on the owner of the bridge, his engineer, determines the weight load.
The house weight depends on structure type and of course dimensions. This wood frame house would weight considerable more if it was OLD, like historic old. The old growth wood weighs LOTS more..and is built better IMHO than modern homes.
Does that help??

Re: Three Questions
According to this article there was confusion on the permits issued. You will also see why the bridge wasn't up to the job.
