A house being moved from Bakerview Road to Port Stanley Road on Lopez Island clipped trees and spread fiberglass insulation along the six-mile route late Thursday night and early Friday morning, April 11.

The two-story structure was originally located near Spencer Spit State Park. Nickel Bros. House Moving Ltd. was forced to take a circuitous route to deliver the home to its new location because of narrow road and sharp curves of the most direct route. Fiberglass insulation from the floor of the structure blew off during the move, leaving a trail of yellow cotton-candy looking debris from Bakerview Road to Cross Road, along Center Road, down Ferry Road and back up Port Stanley Road to the home’s new resting place in the 400 block of Port Stanley Road.

As the house neared its destination, it clipped branches of trees and forced the cutting of all or parts of trees near the roadway where the road narrows.

Bill Blackmore, the owner of the building and the property where the house now rests, said he had forewarned his neighbors of the impending move but said he wasn’t expecting it to be so difficult.

Members of the Nickel Bros. crew could be seen picking the insulation off the roadside brush late Friday. There was no word about repairing the damage to trees along the route.
