Tough Trek
Ron and Gail Murray love their idyllic rural retreat in Spiritwood, Saskatchewan and have called it home for most of their lives – along with their family of 4.

Collen Cyr, president of the Historical Society has secured funds and obtained the approval from the Municipality Development and Subdivision Authority to move a 1906 Bank to the Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village. The building stands a massive 30 feet high and close to 100 tons and is nothing to take lightly. The climate is quickly changing and Wades crew will be moving this precious building in the snow. With one bridge already collapsing earlier in the year due to massive floods, anything could happen when mother nature is involved.
4 Ton Fireplace In Tow!
Alton and Jessica Puddicombe received a call of a lifetime when his neighbor reached out the day of their wedding and offered them his 1932 farmhouse. Cost? One dollar and with a limited budget this was a real blessing for the Puddicombe family. They live an easygoing and active lifestyle with their three children and family dog – however, space is tight and has the two teen boys sharing a room! They’re a family that loves animals, especially horses and everything to do with the outdoors. The house is only moving about 8 miles within Camrose but the moving crew faces brutally cold temperatures reaching -30°C. The cold weather will bring its own problems like jacks freezing up, hydraulic hose leaking… However, the families biggest concern? The home has a brick fireplace and weighs about 4 tons. Wade’s crew is the only ones willing move the house with the fireplace in tow – no easy feat!
Oversized Garage Coming!
Peter and Sheena Rector have seven children with three kids sharing a bedroom, it’s simply not enough space. Already drastically stretching a single paycheck to support a family of nine, Jaylene helped them track down an amazing house for a steal of a price - $105,000 – 5-bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. They need to get this move done before the weather becomes treacherous, making things worse, the plot of land is in the centre of a forest so they had better get cutting! With the oversized garage, the house measures an unwieldy 54 feet, meaning that manoeuvring this lengthy load through the crowded city will be tight. On top of all that, the house will be moving in the middle of winter! Icy roads, gravel only access, blizzards, and other motorists contending with the slippery conditions all mean Kelly’s crew is in for a bumpy ride. With that, the Rectors’ dream of a large family home could become a nightmare of splintered timber on the side of the highway!
