This is fascinating...maybe a little addictive...to watch. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa they are moving the National Czech and Slovak Museum. It is a 1700 TON, yes TONS, building. The largest move ever attempted. In 2008 during a 500 year massive flood, it was nearly destroyed so they are moving it from its present location to a spot about 500 feet away and up on top of a newly built parking garage.
