Saturday afternoon while on my way to Calibishie I saw this. I call it MOVING HOUSE!!

Photographers – novice, amateur or professional – in Dominica are asked to submit photos, photographer credit and caption to [email protected] for consideration for the Photo of the Day feature, daily on dominicanewsonline.com or news.dm.
Submissions can be accompanied by a brief profile and contact information of the photographer. Submissions will be published in the order they were received.
Photos must be taken of Dominicans and things Dominican. Note that submissions advertising any form of business or business activity will not be published.
Dominica News Online also encourages the submission of a variety of photos, ranging from nature shots, people shots, weird shots, interesting human interest shots, and anything ‘newsy
This house look good. If you see what some of Dominican live in Antigua. They does be ashamed to let other people see where they living. When they go there they does have to take what get to live in. So please do not critisize.
I think I’m falling in love… with my culture!
See the friendly people..
Boy I wish I was the truck driver!
Embarassing? you are! This looks so real! I was born in the 50’s in one of the remotest parts of dominica. There were no trucks or motorable roads, so houses had to be rolled on blocks of wood, or pulled with ropes. I am sure these people felt very good at what they were doing. You can see this in their expressions. I’ll say again, some people comment because the internet is available, but I wonder what else can they do with the computer.
Just in the 90’s I saw a house being pulled in a village on the west, which is a developed area.
Keep the photos coming. We need our memories revisited.
yow yow!!
School crossing :-)
shatta cool out on estate na ur a haterr man smh !!!

Thanks for sharing that link.
lol lol so funny!
when an earth quake occurs mostly block houses get damages ..one mans trash is another mans treasure…stop giving stupid comments and make sence out of what you have to say…some people cant afford to build a block house …some can only build a wooden house …they are honest they dont steal from others to become better in life…after saying such bad things have you ever ask yourself ….where and how did my parents get money to build our house ? the answer might be nasty to know …
oh wow…lol…lol…i love my people…only in dominica would u be allowed to move house and be on the house while it moving, and even standing on the truck thats moving it…hehehe…love it!
This is really amazing.house on wheels .gives me a good laugh after a work shift in new york. Really happy to go to dominica news online and just sit back and enjoy the seen
WOW!! That brought back memories when I was a kid back in Calibishie… My people dem still loco..lol

DEADLY!!!!
this is how things use to be…n people cooperated with each other….i love that…..mezemawio set tight mezemawio…u can finish the rest…
what the hell? why would someone go through all that trouble to move this thing? Demolish this piece of trash and build something better….duh!
one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!!!
Wait..did they block off the other lanes to allow this to move? Lol…oh gosh I can just imagine the traffic as a result of this.
On another note….its hilarious!!!! Only in Dominica….LOVE IT!

I was born in the 1970s in the country area so i have seen my share of houses moved similarly.Back in the days they used to cut coconut trees and use them as wheels to rool the houses and the entire village would be there pulling pushing the house until it reach its destination…..That was Dominica..when neighbors cared!!!

So what is the responsibility of the guy on the roof? . I guess he is positioned to move the power lines out of the way of the mobile house.
