Just in case anyone was wondering....

 

We've just sold our 5 run extensions (you meet lovely people selling through this forum - recommended), and a frequent question from people who contacted me was whether or not the run could be easily moved with that many extensions.

 

I'm sure there are many other omleteers who can confirm that the answer is yes, but as it came up so much I thought a post on the subject might be helpful.

 

The run moves very well across flattish ground, but it's definitely a two person task. (OH is quite Hagrid-like, so he takes the heavy "door" end and does all the walking backwards. I do the pushing at the eglu end and most of the swearing. Works for us.)

 

It's helpful to have some bungees to secure the skirt at each end upwards, otherwise it catches on the ground, flips over, and you're grounded. Then you have to think of even more colourful language and reasons why it's your partners' fault.

 

We always used cable ties instead of the run clips, which I think made the whole structure less floppy and easier to move.

 

We turned it 180 degrees once. It was like one of those 36 point turns you sometimes see elderly people doing in residential roads. The run was just shorter than the width of the garden, and at one point we were trapped between eglu and fence at each end, wondering when our weathered remains would be found....

 

Never did that again.

 

Hope this is helpful to anyone contemplating a "cube train" installation.

Hello FeatherForecast:D

 

Thought you'd like to see some of your extensions in use

 

 

 

It was lovely meeting you- good luck for this weekend. I shall pick your brains for ideas when our turn comes

 

How goes the 50p cultivation business?

Way cool! You're lucky you have the space to move it and don't have to stagger in bent double for the cleaning sessions...

 

It's taken me ages to sit down and log on, because our lives have now become taken over by "The Build". Of course just as you get some momentum up over the weekend you have to go back to work. The WIR is all fence and fence posts at the moment - looks a bit odd. Will post a pic as soon as I've got the energy to create a photobucket account!

 

Oh, by the way, the 50p has spawned. Thought it was OH doing it for a joke, but he denies all knowlege....
