Lift off. Ever wondered what lifting an entire house into the air looks like? Here's the start.
In December this Corbridge house was flooded and the owners have come up with a radical solution to prevent it happening again.
They're raising it up on a bed of steel, millimetre by millimetre. It's tense but going well.
Fifteen tonnes of steel lifting a 100 tonne house and 32 hydraulic jacks are taking the load.
