  • Million dollar house for $70,000 but ..

    He has to move it



    ARGO, ND - According to Valley News Live, a North Dakota man got a good deal on a million dollar home, but with one big catch.
    Scott Adelman paid $70,000 for a 4,500-square-foot brick home in Fargo, but he has to move it out to nearby Horace.

    "This has been probably the hardest as far as permitting, because we're going across the interstate bridge," Adelman said. "DOT has to be involved, the city of Fargo, Stanley Township, Horace. So, as far as that goes the permitting process has been the biggest part."

    Authorities helped by clearing the way for Adelman as crews moved the 200-ton home at least 10 miles.

    "We had some traffic signals that we couldn't take down due to the wiring on them," Fargo Police officer Dan Hansen said.

    For plumbing, electrical, and a new foundation and brickwork, the timeline is 5 weeks for a crew of 15 workers.

              It does break. My families house was moved in and there are a lot of cracks in the sheet rock that had to be patched.

                Makes a lot more sense now.

                    Way too much work for that. Amazing it doesn't fracture in many pieces

                          $1 million for a 4500 SF home in Fargo? Bakken must have blown shit up all over the state.

                          Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                          You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                            No doubt. I've heard of some price gouging in areas like that, but DAMN!

                              It's probably worth about $100 now since nobody in there right fucking mind would buy that after knowing it was moved.
