The guy who hauled a building to Alaska
Who can link the thread of the guy who drove to alaska with a new building on his trailer? I think it was a 1997 dodge, red in color.

And he was something like 54,000 pounds.

That isn't a pre-fab, that's a regular heavy home on pins and being moved. Looks like he had 36 ton worth of wheels under it. didn't go too well on that 5 ton bridge.
