A 139-year-old house was moved several blocks in San Francisco today for a cost of around $400,000

SF Chronicle:

“We had to get 15 different city agencies to agree to this,” said veteran house mover Phil Joy. “Maybe it was 18 agencies. I’m not really sure.”

Along the route, parking meters were ripped up. Limbs from an overhanging laurel tree were trimmed. Traffic signs were relocated. Overhead traffic lights are coming down and overhead wires that power the 5-Fulton Muni line will be turned off and unstrung. No-Parking-tow-away-zone signs have been plastered all over like bad checks.

...

After the move is complete, the site at 807 Franklin St. is set to become a 48-unit, eight-story apartment building.... And the traveling Victorian will be anchored into place at 635 Fulton St. next to a historic mortuary

Uh-oh! Some last minute tree trimming is needed before the Victorian home continues on its journey to 635 Fulton Street.

Ten funny tweets

Yep, those are guns on the wall. Story by @jflem94: https://t.co/PnY1hAEtZ7

Note: Our team updated the story after I sent that tweet and after they spoke to a McGraw family rep. Our article now says Dr. Phil’s family trust owns the home but he never lived in the house, and that it’s currently being used by his son Jordan.

Hundreds of reporters and camera crews gather for the Ghosn press conference, it's carried live on news channels around the world. Business grinds to a halt, all eyes turn to the screen. But he never shows; it was all a diversion. GHOSN HAS ESCAPED FOR A SECOND TIME

(An article about the house.) 

"This tiny house is heated by bitcoin mining"

Curbed:

The pair built a simple 215-square-foot house in the Siberian town of Irkutsk and installed two bitcoin miners. The heat from these small computers warms up a liquid that’s then pumped through a sub-floor heating system.
