Dated this 11 day of August, 1998. Isl Greg Holbrook, Acting Business Administrator Admin-istrator Published in The Orem-Geneva Times, August 19, 1998. Heber's home weighed about 70 tons. Seven to ten days are required to move the average home, Valgardson said. Heber's home, with its tall height, brick veneer, and attached garage, took about three weeks to move. The actual moving day, when the structure was trucked up the road to its new location, was a two-hour neighborhood event. People came out to watch and to take pictures. There was cooperation in moving cars out of the way. "All of my neighbors have been really good really supportive," sup-portive," Heber said. "I have not heard one negative comment. They have all shown a lot of interest," in-terest," - A portion of one neighbor's apricot tree had to be removed in order to get the house down the street. The tree's owner, Vaughn Dearden, could not be reached when the house was on the move and the problem came up, so Heber went ahead and cut it back, then spoke to an understanding under-standing Dearden later. The first step in the house moving process, according to Valgardson, is to knock holes in the foundation for moving equipment. equip-ment. Steel beams are inserted. The positioning is the trick, he said. A successful move depends on placing the beams in the right spots to counterbalance a structure's weight and minimize stress on the home. Valgardson said he and his brother Bill, who operate the business now, learned the tricks of beam placement from their father, fa-ther, Paul. "That's the tricky part," Valgardson said. "It separates sepa-rates the good movers from the bad. It's mostly common sense, but there are a few tricky things you learn from experience." After the beams are in place, . jacks capable of lifting about 15 tons each are put in place. Thanks to modern hydraulics, the Valgardsons have one machine ma-chine that can actually lift 300 i tons. During the lifting process, a structure must be kept level or the sheet rock will crack. The next step is to roll the structure off of its foundation using pipe'rollers and to put it on the truck. Loading follows a three-point system, where the structure is supported by a fifth wheel, a set of dollies on one side, and a set of dollies on the other side. This arrangement "cradles" the structure and allows it the flexibility needed to navigate uneven roads. When, the structure reaches its new location, the process is reversed and the building is rolled onto the new foundation, which is blocked out for the beams to be renoved. ? Since his home was moved, Heber, an employee of the state's Department of Workforce Services, Ser-vices, has kept himself busy getting get-ting the structure ready to meet a September loan finalization deadline. He said he has hired some of the work done, but has completed a lot himself particularly par-ticularly the carpentry. Heber observed he has found that working on a transported structure is "maybe twice" the work of constructing a new home. There is lots of labor involved in tearing down, saving materials, and rebuilding. "I've been working really , hard," Heber said. Remaining chores include replacing the brick facing, installing new front doors, putting on decks to enjoy a beautiful beau-tiful backyard view, and the biggest big-gest job of all the concrete work on patio, stairs, driveway, etc. All in all, Heber figures the house purchase and move was a "pretty good deal". He acknowledged acknowl-edged he is a benefactor of the city's decision to build the road. For now, the plan is to live in the new structure and rent out his basement house on the next lot. Some of the Valgardsons' more spectacular or unique moves have been featured in The Structural Struc-tural Mover, a trade publication of the International Association of Structural Movers, which dubs the business "the world's largest recycling industry". One such move involved a historic church at Hill Air Force Base. A boom I truck had to be used to lift power lines, and the church was moved onto the runway, essentially escorted es-corted by F-16s. The movers were told to be 'careful not to cross a . designated yellow security line, Valgardson said, because the policy in place was to "shoot and ask questions later". Valgardson said the company moves a couple of structures in Park City every year, where . building permit fees are waived by the local government in order to encourage the preservation of historic buildings. The Valgardsons moved a number of historic structures to the Gardner Village shopping de-velopmei de-velopmei it in West Jordan. David said he dreads moving some of the older structures because of their instability and the dirt. He recalled one adobe brick structure struc-ture that began crumbling when it was moved. He almost stopped the move, but went ahead, then replaced the crumbled bricks with concrete, just breaking even on the job. Two of the homes taken out for . the 800 East expansion in Orem : : were moved by the Valgardsons. They also moved 13 homes from the subdivision that was removed to make way for Eagle Hardware. Another mover took out five other homes from the same area. "You seldom come across a subdivision like that," David said. , The structural moving indus-' indus-' try has come a long way from the post-World War II era when Paul Valgardson began the family business. David said his father jokes that anyone with a set of telephone poles that could lift a p f ' ' rv - I : I t j j, .. It A - til l i v , , $J . Keith Heber of Orem takes a break from working on his home' that was moved to a lot a block away from its original location. building up was a mover back then. With materials and resources re-sources in short supply, many barracks and other structures were moved and "recycled" of necessity. ne-cessity. Just as the Valgardson sons learned the business a generation ago from their father, a new generation gen-eration of Valgardsons are now being introduced to the work. David said the boys are naturally attracted to the trucks and heavy equipment, but they see that the moving is a very physical occupation occu-pation that can be difficult He expects that some, but not all, will be involved with the business in the future. Keith Heber is happy with how his story turned out. "Valgardsons did a super job,," he said. "They are really good to work with." 01 ORPHA MOORE LEWIS Orpha Moore Lewis, 76, died peacefully Tuesday, August 11 at home in Provo, Utah.

It's not, if you look for the stars! A home that has been energy rated has received a star and point value that helps you compare energy costs from one house to the next. The higher the star value the more energy efficient the home is, similar to picking a great restaurant by looking for the star rating. Having an energy efficient home means you will spend less on utility bills and be more comfortable in the house you worked so hard to buy. It also means that you may qualify for special financing that gives you more buying power when qualifying for your loan. Ask your builder, lender, or Realtor about Home Energy Ratings and Energy Efficient Financing- it's a great combination for a healthy home energy diet.
