has captured the hearts and minds of his students was restless trying to figure out how to move their third tiny home to its site in Liberty County.
“They came out and looked at it and gave us some pointers on future designs, but early on, recognized that the normal techniques that they would use would not apply to our project,” Gaylord said.“They were getting some quotes that were pretty outrageously priced,” he said. That prompted him to begin making some cold calls himself to find out who the players were in the house moving game.He found The Sipe Boys who have been moving over-size structures in southeast Texas since 1957.
Jessica Sipe Sechelski, operations manager for The Sipe Boys, LLC, said they were ecstatic to help with the move.They made a visit to the school to figure out a way to load it and pull it out the correct way.Gaylord watched with awe as the process got underway. The summer drought ended with several weeks of rain the first part of August and that delayed the move, but once it dried up and was safe, Gaylord said it went off without any worries.
The site in Liberty County now has seven houses built from students at Summer Creek, Kingwood, and Kingwood Park high schools.Operation Finally Home is designing the layout of the 100-acre site and will build a community center for the veterans where they can be fed and hold meetings and events.
