Thunderfam! Did anybody else see this?

Entire church begins two-day journey across Swedish city of Kiruna

The landmark 113-year-old wooden building is at risk from subsidence and will be moved 5km on giant rolling platforms.

Moving buildings across cities! Where is Ned Cook to report on this?

Sorry if this has been spotted by a million people but I hadn't seen it and I got a bit over-excited.

It's even at risk of subsidence. Hopefully there are no underground rivers.

You are alone. The walls are close and for boding. You run. The hall gets smaller and smaller as you continue. You cannot stop. You finally reach the end of the hall and emerge in a sunny field surrounded by forest. You are now in more danger than ever.

i kinda strayed from the prompt a lot? i’m not happy with it at all but like. here you go: 

trigger warnings: uh there’s actually a lot- blood, Intense Pain, leg injury, being chased, being trapped, mild claustrophobia i guess?, no happy ending, Reader Discretion Advised Please idk i’m tired and bad feels so just. you’re warned. 

They’re coming after you. It’s only a matter of time before they get here, and you will be powerless to stop them. You wince slightly at your thoughts. Or maybe it’s just the dull pain throbbing up from your leg, the metal of whatever trap you got caught in clamping down on the back of your lower leg, leaving an angry red stain growing by the second. You’re faced with a choice. Stop to undo it, and risk the fastest of them catching up to you, or keep going and pushing yourself harder than you can probably take, especially with ongoing blood loss. You stop for only a second, throwing the sharp object as far away from you as possible, …and ripping out a small yet painful chunk of skin along with it. Shoot. That wasn’t part of the plan, you think as you continue running, ignoring the now much sharper pain shooting through your right leg. You hear a loud, continuous noise behind you. Something much bigger and faster than before is following you, the hallway you were in before, the short, long building shooting after you. How is it doing that? You feel the floor slide under your feet as the hallway catches up, the walls too close to you for comfort, leaving barely any space on either side of you. It keeps going, and going- until it suddenly stops and you fall down. Doors you hadn’t previously noticed at the far end slam shut, seemingly on their own, and you’re

alone.

Tip for Moving Buildings in New Horizons

You can’t just move a building over a couple of spaces. 

Why? 

When Tom Nook gives you the kit for placing down the new location, the actual building is still there in its original location. When you try to place the new location kit down a few spaces over, the game tells you that you can’t because it’s too close to a building. 

You know, the building that you’re moving. 

So, learn from my mistake, kids: Don’t spend 50,000 bells to try to move your museum a couple of spaces... 

...like I did.

Enormous, 100 Year Old Church Relocated in Sweden

When we’ve seen homes propped up on stilts or beams for foundation or basement repairs, it always amazes us. The sheer weight and fragility of such a big structure is quite the undertaking. That concept has been super-sized for this project in Kiruna, Sweden, where one of the country’s largest wooden buildings, and most beloved churches was recently relocated. Located in Northern Sweden’s…

My contribution to the Character Design Challenge of August !

This one took me a while, and there's a bit of story to it so here we go

" Mad scientist Von Deadauser thought it was a good idea to set up shop in a old castle lost deep in alpine forest to focus on his crimes against God. God had already forsaken the place though, letting the castle Spirits full-time owner of the ruins.  The highly supernatural activities of the place coupled with the good doctor's experiments didn't mesh well together, creating a walking monstrosity made of rocks, woods, poltergeists and scientific curiosities, way beyond  Deadauser's his staff control.Since then the beast prowls in the already not-so welcoming woods, waiting for others imprudent tresspassers.  Beware..."

Fantasy: Moving Barclay’s

Barclays Bank is one of our city’s finest assets but it’s in the wrong place and always has been. While it undoubtedly adds to the streetscape of Lichfield Street itself, it was built right in front of St Peter’s Church, as you can see above. Were it to go, St Peter’s Gardens could be expanded into a square, as shown below.

This is undoubtedly hugely controversial however - and also incredibly expensive - as what I would do is relocate this building to another square in the city, opposite the Queen’s Building at the Interchange. This replaces a row of dud buildings on the otherwise beautiful Queen Street, so knocks off two birds with one stone.

In doing so we improve the streetscape of both Queen Street and Berry Street.

I redirect Berry Street, allowing for the Barclay’s building to slot into place. Alongside this I build some Georgian-style townhouses, also improving the entrance to Princess Alley.
