Construction Crew Uses 700 Bars of Soap to Slide 440,000-Pound Historic Halifax Building
- Construction workers had to move a 440,000-pound, nearly 200-year-old building in Halifax, but it wouldn't budge at first
- The construction company owner's wife went to 15 stores to buy 700 bars of Ivory soap to make the beams slippery
- After placing the soap under the building, workers were able to move it 30 feet total to make space for a new apartment complex
- The construction company owner has moved smaller buildings with soap before, but this was the heaviest
- Some workers took home leftover soap bars when the project was completed
