After securing the corners of the house with solid steel reinforcements, the compressor was brought in, connected to the four jacks, and away she went! The house was jacked up enough that an additional railway tie, plus some shim pieces have been added to the jack base, putting our house roughly 6 inches into the air clearing the stones on the driveway side of the house. Tomorrow they should be able to continue the jacking to gain a few more feet of height.
NB Power did make it by to disconnect our power supply and to confirm our temporary power permit. Reconnecting the power with our house in an entirely new location will be interesting to tackle, once the major work is finished.
