Massive Moves
Moving house is one of the most stressful experiences we ever encounter - but can you imagine moving an entire house - fixtures, furniture, walls and roof intact, through a city, over a mountain or across a frozen lake!
In every show a team of movers race against the clock to move a monstrous house for a nervous set of homeowners.
That’s the challenge faced by teams of house movers in each half hour episode of Massive Moves.
The movers must overcome huge hurdles - over hanging trees, low-slung power lines, weak bridges and high-speed traffic. There is high drama, jeopardy and emotion for everyone involved as everyone races to deliver their homes on time.
