FotonDrv Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 So, I got the dome off and ready to move. I will lower it onto a piano dolly with appropriate padding and support, strap it to the dolly and then take it down the ramp to its final home. If all goes well today we will have a burn-in beverage to celebrate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FotonDrv Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Today was the big move. 2 big people to lift the dome off the rolling piano dolly and myself to roll the BB32 off its pallet, across the garage and through the doorway onto a landing and lower it to the patio. Right at the very end of the ramp I needed a hand to put a small shim board under the leading wheels so the stainless foot trim did not hit the cement patio. A large friendly neighbor easily lifted the 2 leading legs far enough to slip a piece of plywood under those 2 wheels for the last 6 inches of roll. Worked like a charm! He was a Pro NFL Defensive End, I think, for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then the Sea Hawks so he is big and strong and the best part a real nice guy!! A second neighbor showed up to lift the dome and it was done. I used the BB32 pallet and cut it to fit onto the piano dolly and screwed it in place. Still have not found Roti motor brackets. I hope to start the burn-in tomorrow afternoon. Got to go to a gunshow tomorrow to sell things to help pay this bill Edited December 3, 2016 by FotonDrv added text spelling 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstr8 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Nice job Stephen! So inquisitive minds want to know: What are you going to cook on your KK for your big SeaHawks buddy?! And of course your other helpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Great story, great pictures. Seems like you owe a few people a major feast - just sayin ..... The ramp down the stairs looks much scarier than you described. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course your other helpers Have not figured out that recipe yet but you can bet it will have some good Asian seasoning My wife does not function without fish sauce. Funny story, she went camping with her late husband and told her friends to meet them and a certain campground, but failed to mention which camp site. So, as a flag to bring attention to which site they were in she hung a bottle of fish sauce from a limb in the parking area! Pretty ingenious and apparently no bears in the eare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a definite help and when the other neighbor showed up, once the BB32 was on the patio, we all lifted the dome in place. All in all a good day, LONG DAY but a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can tie things onto vehicles like these and not have stuff fall off going through the woods or in combat in a jungle then lowering a KK down a flight of stairs just takes thought and a modicum of energy for a young man. For me it took a wee bit more energy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Fantastic effort mate looks great in its new home. The stair case shot is brilliant, your mate looks like he could have just carried it down lol. Bosco has the award for the longest journey. I reckon you take the award for getting it into place with the most effort. Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Thanks Aussie, it was the only way to get it to the location since I could not get 4 guys the size of my neighbor on that stairway or through the gate and down the narrow path and then up a few steps to get to the same location. I had a friend put himself through college doing landscaping and earth moving. He took a bobcat apart and carried all the pieces through the customers home to dig a swimming pool in their backyard and then reverse the process to take the bobcat to his next job. He is a really smart fellow and if he could have done it another way he would have. He too is a rancher who likes puzzles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 What I have learned in life their is always a way I have my plant operators ticket have operated heavy machinery. And used to drive a truck from Perth to Melbourne I excelled on the grader though as a final trimmer.. My mate owns a concrete pump which he has taught me how to use. I'm just happy to meet you and learn from your experience forget about your age it's the person that you areSent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Aussie, you clearly understand the problem solving and from a similar perspective. That haul from Perth to Melbourne looks to be a long haul where just about anything can happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
