If he tried to do that today with all the houses we have now, he would have to shuttle our furniture. One of the problems he had was that the tractor portion of the 18 wheeler had a very long chassis and required wide turns. The driver wasn't a novice trucker, he had been in the business for a lot of years.
All the more reason for "newbies" to sell their stuff before moving here, and to start anew. Most furniture from homes in the north does not fit in well with the Florida ambiance.
