It stopped traffic and turned heads--an entire house rolling down the street on a flatbed truck.

SAN DIEGO, CA - This isn't your typical moving day.
Instead of the residents packing up their things and moving from one home to another, an entire home was moved Monday--from the Hillcrest neighborhood to San Ysidro.
The approximately 800-square-foot home was built in 1925. It's owners decided to build a new three-story, 2,000-square-foot home on the lot. But rather than tearing down the small house and hauling it to the landfill, they opted for a greener solution -- recycling the home.
It was hauled to a holding site while the new owners get the proper permits. When the paperwork is in place, the home will be salvaged by a local family.
