Aussie Ora Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Mate driving across my country was the most remarkable thing I have ever done when you get to the middle of Australia it's so clear no lights just stars it's an awesome experience. The sky just lights up its amazing no light pollution not anything just pure sky pure stars Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the parts of the planet that fascinate me, not the crowded cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Seriously well executed. Glad the move went off without incident. Can't wait to see that first virgin cook! I bet your Seahawks buddy could polish off a whole pork butt by himself! Brings back memories of moving mine from the garage, up a similar flight of steps on a ramp to the living room, rolling it across the floor and out onto the deck. Instead of the chain-fall and come-alongs, we just used refrigerator moving straps and 5 burly guys (OK, 4 burly guys and fatboy me - LOL!)

FotonDrv Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Tony, you are absolutely correct, he is a big boy at about 6'4" and 300 LB so a whole port butt would be within range. I could not have gotten all those people into the space, but those refig straps are pretty nice, as long as everyone is in since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B. Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Late to the party...................but very impressive move. Looks great on the patio. Now go have some fun and cook up a bunch of good food!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thanks Jon B I grilled some steaks last night on the lower grill and some longer cooking ribs on the 1/2 upper grill. The system is truly awesome, and that is a word I do not use often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisLinkletter Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Glad to see your BB made it to it's final resting place. I was out on both Friday night and Saturday night but did not see any calls from you so figured you had it handled. Congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Thanks Dennis! "Final resting place" is almost true, the KK has wheels that allow for little old disabled me to push it around the patio by myself. So far I have moved it once and there mat be another move in the near future. Trying different locations for wind and aesthetic reasons. Thanks for making such a nice machine Dennis.

billg71 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Nice job with the rigging, @FotonDrv! Congrats on getting your KK to it's home and congrats on the first cook! Thanks for the pics as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks BillG71, it was an adventure moving it but the photos show how really east it was with a few simple tools, with the exception of the forklift which was overkill. I am a believer in overkill rather than the opposite and something breaking and causing a disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyfish Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Some engineering and thought went into that backyard move. Its nice to see some terrific food coming off your KK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thank you Tony The next step is a method of storing the grills, stones, charcoal and smoking woods. I have a plan but who knows when it will happen. Our clothes dryer died yesterday and that means the washing machine is not far behind, they both are 22 years old so I figure they have lasted long enough and time to find new ones. The fun never stops ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 There was an aptly named movie a few years ago - "The Money Pit." https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KLqIHzeUtYqHUAy9z7w8QF;_ylu=X3oDMTExbW1vaDQzBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDVklEUFJEBGdwb3MDNA--?p=Movie+The+Money+Pit&vid=80b62cd954112c409c0d159139dd4908&turl=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVP.Vd180ace7baee646ceeee890dc458854a%26pid%3D15.1%26h%3D225%26w%3D300%26c%3D7%26rs%3D1&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTLLQquBdU8M&tit=The+Money+Pit+Official+Trailer+%231+-+Tom+Hanks+Movie+(1986)+HD&c=3&h=225&w=300&l=85&sigr=11biqtpce&sigt=11tdtif8o&sigi=132rpthpu&age=1326178434&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Av&fr=mcafee&tt=b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 "The Money Pit", a good movie and since rehabbing this 100 year old home I can honestly say we are living in the same sort of pit, except it is a waterfront home and the value of the land will not likely fall apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, it was an engineering feat to get all that stuff inside the big shell, Kudos to Dennis and his team! 2 pallets arrived and I moved the big one and the delivery driver took the little one (240LB of goods) down my driveway. I am super happy the way it went, nothing like heavy equipment to do the job Now I need to move the gutted shell down a flight of stairs. The next series of photos will have the process of going down the stairs. Note the big fuzzy puppy supervising the forklift. She is pretty good for a 17month old and didn't yap to much.

FotonDrv Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Getting it down the stairway was more difficult because of the limited space to maneuver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
