Well, now you have it under your control so it has to feel better than before when you were at the mercy of someone else. Congratulations on the new arrival!

RokDok Posted February 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks @jonjJon, I am just tucking into an adult beverage at the moment ( I love Tony's term) and am just going outside with a torch to check it's still there. Sunrise is at 7.08 tomorrow. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I am so relieved it is home safe. See you in the morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Is it morning yet? Edited February 1, 2021 by MacKenzie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 0709 here in Southsea. I think RokDok was optimistic with his 0708 sunrise. Internet tells me we will get sunrise at 0738 here and that RokDok will see it in Dorset at 0743. That said, I bet you he is out there in the dark now. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokDok Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Haaa ! I did go out with the torch last night and I can see it from the bedroom window, so I am having a nice cup of tea with Mrs RokDok. I am going to savour the next couple of hours. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RokDok Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Progressing nicely. Everything unpacked from the crate now. Baking stones etc in there garage. Did start to worry - thinking how is everything I ordered going to fit in here - have they forgotten the tables ? Of course they hadn't ! It's on a double pallet, so going to have to make a secondary ramp. It's not going to be slid off like this ! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I was looking forward to seeing you cook breakfast eggs on that shiny new grill! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokDok Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 @Paul - Ha the first cook is a little way off yet. So we extended the ramp with some ply and supported it underneath with concrete slabs. Once I'd knocked the central box to bits and unsecured / crowbarred off the bits of wood restraining the feet it started to move a bit. We put a rope around the KK and tied the other end to Mrs RD as we gently manoeuvred it down the slope we'd made. Any one else find this a bit scary ?? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really hoping for a single pallet upon my delivery.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokDok Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 We got it through the hedge fine and then down the path between the two lawns, but we thought it safer to do the leapfrogging plywood trick alongside the house - I'dedisconnected the gas supply and moved the cylinders but the connection to the house was a bit proud and the house is built of stone and lumps of flint that also protrude. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokDok Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Now rolled it along the back of the house into position on the flagstones. Most importantly getting some glasses and a bottle of the 10.2% Matt Black Stout to toast its arrival. Cheers !! Still loads to unwrap but that's enough for today - I need to do some other bits and pieces 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokDok Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 That's the pub behind us by the way. Couple of pictures of it in position , one from outside and one from inside. Many thanks to folk on the forum who have inspired and advised. Truly wonderful bit of kit !! I'm going to wait for a dry, bright day for the burn in and first cook, meanwhile have to unwrap and figure out what all the extra thing are. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way the KK sits right in, just like you always planned for it to be there. Congratulations! @BOC, don't sweat the ramp. If you end up with a double pallet I would abandon the ramp that comes with the KK and use a longer piece of ply, supported by planks or bricks along the slope, to create a longer gradient to roll it down. Says she who got other people to do that while she played with her new KKs as they rolled off the nice ramp that they built...

jonj Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Nice setup (and drum kit!). I like the way you can keep the KK and pizza oven both in view whilst playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a betting man but I'd wager good money that Mrs RD would definitely fit within the group who 'finds this a bit scary'. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
