Phase 3 - Moving Our Nolting Into Our Building

Phase 3 is COMPLETE ! !

It took a bit of figuring with just two people moving a 12 foot quilting machine but my HD is good at figuring things out. Actually we did most of it and when we got it to the building, a neighbor lent a hand there. We could have done it though, since it was not near as heavy when we took the machine head off the bed.

We used the floor jack to lift one end up, then blocked the legs with lumber until we could get the dolly under it.




It was not near the chore we thought it would be.

For the other end we had to be a bit more creative since we only had one dolly. We used an appliance dolly (usually known as "Grandpa's skate board", with lumber attached and a space for the frame to fit down into to keep it from shifting on us.














We loaded the head onto our tool cart to move it around.

 We just rolled it around to the back yard with no problems. Got it put in and all back together and ready to go!

We have a little air conditioner in the window that does a good job and heating should not be a problem either. With the loft up there for insulation (not to mention all the junk, treasures stored up there, it works well.

My HD has his 8 foot area all arranged with plenty of room for him.
