You don't work on all sides of a home to move it, you work under
it and inside of it to stabilize it so it can be lifted up onto
cribbing
then lowered down onto a house move platform to be towed to
a new location if the roadways which access the area are wide
enough to allow the house to pass through on them... The rest
of the foundation of the home is cut away after it is lifted onto
the cribbing before being lowered onto the house mover platform...

then you didn't see the mike rowe show dirty jobs where they moved a
house. they needed access to all sides to get the jacks under the
pressure points, so they could insert the girders that the house sit on,
which then were lowered onto various wheeled assemblies, when it was moved.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak. Housemovers are a
pretty creative bunch; they do what works ime which often means
"variations on a theme" for a given situation .
