Moving A Building

Across the parking lot from SM's office building, a historic building is being moved. Instead of tearing the building down and building the new building, a site across the street has been prepared for this building.
These pallets of wood are placed under the building as the hydronics lift the building slowly up.

The building will need to be turned 180 degrees and then moved across the street to its new destination. Can it really be done? The movers seem positive that they can do it...
These are the wheels that will be placed on the bottom of the building and hooked up to a computerized system that will allow the building to be moved, turned around and moved again. Should be spectacular to watch...and every day, SM looks up from his computer and out the window to see this site...until it's not there.
