Question
#1. How much does a house weigh??
#2. What is the weight limit of the bridge??




Here are my answers.

#1. probably a whole hell of a lot!!
#2. Less then 1 house (even with no cars in the garage)

Well, they've got a real good start on a basement.

I stood at the entry of a bridge in KC MO with a 7-ton limit sign, and watched a half-dozen semis just breeze right through. Luckily, the bridge didn't fall, but how stupid is that?

Nice location, but I can see where getting in and out of the garage could be a bit tuff....Oh yeah, and when you go out the front door watch that first step, it's a biggun!!!!!!

Yeah on the basement. Giving directions would be easy too....Yep, just head down this road, and you can't miss my house....

Or....you can get to my place in a small boat by motoring up the channel.....

Boy dot is gonna charge the crap out of them.

Is that the new style "Covered Bridge"?? We got a lot of them up here in Pennsyltucky, but none quite as fancy as that one.
