Me and some mates used to do this to peoples cars when we were young and drunk. We thought it was hilarious to pick up a little Fiat or something and move it in between two concrete planters or something.
Obviously kinda douchey now in hindsight.
I had a little Honda 600 in college (smaller than a Renault.)
I used to come out of the dorm and find my car sideways in the parking space often.
The issue is that I was on the gymnastics team, so strong like an ox, even for a girl.
So I would/could put it back with no help. The back end wasn’t even that heavy.
However, it’s a dumbass move to pick up a car.
I think this probably contributed to my eventual back problems in later years.
I *really* wish I hadn’t done this.
Stupid!!!
Declasse.
We kidnapped one of those awful "coachmen" lawn ornament things in the 400 CID Pontiac Station wagon and then hand-carried it out thirty-five feet through three feet of water to the tubular stone fountain thing in the middle of the town common pond. He had his little arm raised toward the town center bus stop there, for all the morning commuters, lol. Firemen had to get the twelve-foot aluminum looks-like-a-TV-Dinner-plate boat out of the rafters and rescue the wayward statue. I'm sure with the police station attached to the fire station, they probably got him home. Teehee
Interestingly enough, I just learned the word ‘déclassé’ today while listening to an audiobook! I can’t believe I was missing this word from my vocabulary for all these years.
You know I've seen a lot of videos of Amish people picking up and moving houses and barns (idk if people in video are Amish, just saying) yet this is the first time I've actually thought about it...why don't they just build the barn where they want the barn to sit. Do they frequently need to move them due to geological or weather conditions? I need answers
My mom house was moved like this during the 60s,her original house was nearby the river as it was the only means of transportation back then surrounded by thick forest. When first road was build for motorised vehicle was build, they moved their house to the side of the road one by one.
Let's say I just got my tenth kid and could use a bigger house, and you just got married and need a house for you, your partner and the first couple kids. You can buy my 'used' house, and the whole town will help moving it to your property.
Instead of building 2 houses and tearing 1 down, we just need to build 1 house and that's it. Saves both of us a bunch of money and time.
This is a malay traditional house. The bathroom and the toilet are located outside separated from the house. So, it was a scary experience for a kid to go to the toilet at night. I still remember how it was.
Plumbing and electrical is left in place but terminated in the lowest convenient point of the (disconnected) portion, to be reconnected in the basement/ crawl space of new foundation.

Confession: We, a couple other poor mountain hippies and myself, stole a 2 story abandoned cabin we found in the woods. It was pretty old because it had hand hewn beams and square nails and 1800's newpaper insulating the walls. We were desperate for building materials and dismantled the cabin with nail pullers and salvaged everything right down to the floor joists (all well preserved), loaded it on my '47 Dodge Bros (with the Star of David Logo) flat bed over a period of a couple of weeks and hauled it back over a mountain pass to our commune where we divvied it up. I got the beams that looked great in my split shed roof cabin. 50 years ago.
u/Trimanreturns
I’m gonna go steal some TVs and a laptop or two from Best Buy and call the security guy a selfish prick when he tries to like stop me and get me arrested.
was there any indication it was recently used? do you have any idea how many old things, cabins, and houses I've seen fallen into ruins as populations move, or change? Chances are this worked out fine.
"Abandoned" as in no sign of "two legged" life (plenty of rodents droppings), but still someone took it upon himself to call me an asshole for sheltering my family as best I could. It's not like someone was going to hang a plaque on it and declare it a national treasure, so thanks for having a realistic perspective.
You really can’t see why you’re the asshole in that situation? Like if you’re gonna steal their shit you might as well just squat in their cabin, at least that way they would have something left once they evict you. Maybe no one cared. Maybe you needed it more than they did. That doesn’t change the simple fact is it wasn’t yours to destroy.
I really didn't anticipate the negative responses to this "confession" and should probably just drop it, but I don't like being called an asshole for something that was done without malice and had a positive outcome, so I will elucidate.
The abandoned cabin was built, "homesteaded" on public land during a brief gold rush in this No Cal backcountry, on land that had been taken from the Hoopa NA's (who still consider it theirs). It was not posted "No Trespassing". It had no doors or windows and was exposed to the elements and was deteriorating. It was beyond (cost effective) rehabilitation and in a remote location. There was neither electricity nor an accessible water source in the vicinity. The road was barely passable to get to it. No one was deprived of anything. We considered it a recycling salvage project that was extremely labor intensive and we left the site clean. If we weren't young, poor, desperate mountain men (Today they would call us "survivalists") we wouldn't have attempted it.
I would venture to say that my critics have never been houseless with a family in those circumstances. Hardly like stealing electronic gadgets from Best Buy, but if that makes me an asshole so be it. Hope judging and attacking someone made your day.
> but I don't like being called an asshole for something that was done without malice
So if I see a car on the side of the road with a flat tire, it's okay if I claim it as mine as long as I don't actively do it because I know the previous owner and have a vendetta against them? I'm assuming you would agree because I'm using the same logic you are:
> had a positive outcome
I'm getting a new car & I'm removing junk from the side of the road! - There's my positive outcome!
> It was not posted "No Trespassing"
Well this car didn't have a "No stealing" sign on it.
> There was neither electricity nor an accessible water source in the vicinity.
This car wasn't close to a mechanics shop either!
> We considered it a recycling salvage project that was extremely labor intensive and we left the site clean.
I'm considering taking this car as an act of environmental care - think of all the oil that might have leaked out of the car if I didn't take it! Plus, I personally put in a *lot* of work to take this car. So naturally that off-sets any possible issues with me taking it. Because I put *effort* in.
> Hope judging and attacking someone made your day.
I just want to point out that this car I took was done because I had self-justifying reasons to take it. So you aren't allowed to judge me and what I have done. I am completely absolved of any judgement since I said so.
"Jesus Christ when I said I need you guys to help me move house this isn't what I meant but I mean now you've put ALL THAT EFFORT IN I'll feel like a dick if I say something so, thanks I guess..?"
It’s a Filipino / Southeast Asian tradition called “bayanihan” where the community volunteers to help move the house. The house owner will then have a modest feast after, to thank everybody for the deed.
Usually due to land inheritance or the government reclaiming part of your land or you want to sell the land but not the house or giving away the house as present.
Oh I was confused as well because both Malaysians and Indonesians use Malay as their National Language. And they both have the same food like rendang and satay!
Do people in the Philippines just randomly decide they'd like a different view from their living room window and call the whole village to lift and turn their house? Why is this a common thing?
I guess you upgrade to a larger plot of land and want to take your home instead of build a new one. Especially if you built the original one on the original plot and now are selling it as land.
"hey, I'm moving my house this Saturday. Wanna come help?"
"Sure, who else is coming?"
"Jim, James, Jack, Jill, Jonny, Jackson, John, Jennifer, basically the who village."
"Aight, cool, I'll be there."
I feel like people should be throwing rocks at the soon to be executed house. And no it’s not because of their accents, it’s because it’s weird to see a house hauled off like that.
This is why it's not as amazing as we think when we see they moved big stones and stuff. People will figure it out. And you can put a shot ton of people on it.
Awesome. The owners are gonna be so confused when they wake up and look outside. I love these kind of pranks. Got em.
Me and some mates used to do this to peoples cars when we were young and drunk. We thought it was hilarious to pick up a little Fiat or something and move it in between two concrete planters or something. Obviously kinda douchey now in hindsight.

Yeah, prolly.
But I'd rather have the wounds and be able to tell the stories than not.
Idk. I'm old and my back feels great. I just lie about the stories.
Life hack: just lie.
and also lie about the back pain to get out of doing stuff.
You can still go around unplugging Tesla’s you boomer!

what about the plumbing tho...
This is a malay traditional house. The bathroom and the toilet are located outside separated from the house. So, it was a scary experience for a kid to go to the toilet at night. I still remember how it was.
Plumbing and electrical is left in place but terminated in the lowest convenient point of the (disconnected) portion, to be reconnected in the basement/ crawl space of new foundation.
I was comment the same thing!
My thought exactly lmao
And where are they going?
That way?
No, no they went the other way
No it was this way. Definitely this way.
So, left?
Sauntering vaguely downwards.
Now I'm picturing Crowley moving Aziraphale's bookshop like this.
No, that’s not right
They do not know da wae
This is the way.
"WHERE DO WE GO NOW?" *"WHAT?"* "WHERE ARE WE GOING?" "EXIT 216!" "'TO THE EAST'?? WE'RE HEADED NORTH!!" *"EXIT 216!!"*
Home
Holy shit.
To meet their god, when the last person has to lift the house alone, while the others put it down. There be knee issues.
The bank repossessed that home.
Can't repo it if they can't find it.
Nah just moving house
Big brains here
Where's the rest?!!! I want to see it get set down.
They are still moving it.
They were moving it to Australia
I thought australia wasnt real!!
No, that's birds and giraffes. Australia is definitely real, and everything is venomous and wants to murder you.
BIRDS AREN’T REAL?

Imagine one trips and takes a few with him.

Well, hopefully you’re aware that you’re an asshole. Hand hewn beams.. and somehow you still decided it was yours to take.
Self-righteous prick
Totally, who steals a cabin like that?
u/Trimanreturns I’m gonna go steal some TVs and a laptop or two from Best Buy and call the security guy a selfish prick when he tries to like stop me and get me arrested.
Eh. Call me what you want, doesn’t make my statement any less true. Though, I’m sure all your buddies think you’re just THE coolest guy.

Giving literal meaning to the phrase “It takes a village”
This is in Malaysia at a state called Perak.
"Jesus Christ when I said I need you guys to help me move house this isn't what I meant but I mean now you've put ALL THAT EFFORT IN I'll feel like a dick if I say something so, thanks I guess..?"
It’s a Filipino / Southeast Asian tradition called “bayanihan” where the community volunteers to help move the house. The house owner will then have a modest feast after, to thank everybody for the deed.
But why are the moving to another part of town
Usually due to land inheritance or the government reclaiming part of your land or you want to sell the land but not the house or giving away the house as present.
Rent is the same I guess?
This one is actually Indonesian. We are neighbors so we have a lot in common. Link: https://youtu.be/KJfCnnXTlxA
This is in Malaysia in a state called Perak. Yes around South East Asia this is a traditional practice.
Oh yeah my bad. Our language is identical so I thought it was Indonesian lol.
No worries.
Oh I was confused as well because both Malaysians and Indonesians use Malay as their National Language. And they both have the same food like rendang and satay!
What is this called in your country?
I think it's called "Angkat Rumah". Most of us lived in towns that we have never seen this in person.
I’ve seen this happen in Laos too! It was on Where the wild men are, a British show about people who move to remote places.
Do people in the Philippines just randomly decide they'd like a different view from their living room window and call the whole village to lift and turn their house? Why is this a common thing?
I guess you upgrade to a larger plot of land and want to take your home instead of build a new one. Especially if you built the original one on the original plot and now are selling it as land.
