ALSO VERY IMPORTANT: Before calling Mover to remove his equipment, be sure all perimeter walls, including any veneer walls, chimneys, fireplaces, bearing beams, decks and/or porch(es) are fully supported.

FOR EVERYONES’ PROTECTION: Owner is to have electric meter ground wire reconnected to a grounding electrode immediately after building is raised/moved.
