House finds a new home

Monday was moving day for Gordy and Marlys Edwards’ Lake Shetek lake home. The house, 78 feet in length, was brought into Tracy by Goldschmidt House Movers of St. James on Hwy. 11 and — after a Charter line was lifted about a foot — made a tight right turn onto Pine Street…

After taking a left off of Pine Street, the house made its way down Center Street where it crossed the railroad tracks and hung a right to an alley…

…where the going got very tight for the 28-foot wide rambler. After Xcel Energy moved a power line, the semi trailer carrying the house slowly crept its way down the alley before…

…bringing the house to its new location — on a lot just off the intersection of 2nd Street East and East Morgan Street. Gordy and Marlys are in the process of selling the house and are building a new home on the lake.
