And finally... a week before I came home, there was a semi bringing a ready-to-move house to a town nearby, but the roads were really icy. The semi got about halfway up this hill and couldn't go any further. The driver put on the brakes and started sliding backwards. They had just gotten the truck out, but they don't know how to get the house out of the ditch! So we stopped by and took some pictures. Notice the 3-phase power line just a couple feet above the top of the house.. they were very lucky. Unfortunately, this guy has been waiting a couple of years for his house, and now they'll need to build a new one...

3. Close-up of the damage
4. I tried to take this one as level as possible so you can see the real slope
