So...the dome has been moved!!
There are still a few parts of the platform and the two little shed/hallway thingies to move, but most of the components are now on my land, waiting to be reassembled!
This is thanks largely to my brother Timothy, and our friend Jason...I helped, but these two really did the majority of the work.
Here are a few scenes from the day.
The cover has a couple sections that zip off, including the top. The guys took that off first, so that they could get at the bolts holding the struts together:
Things got interesting as struts came down and the cover drooped lower and lower!
The guys working on detaching the dome cover from where it was connected to the shed (well, Jason was working...not sure what Timothy was up to. :P ).
Folding up the largest part of the cover:
My trusty little hammer paid the ultimate price!!! :(
Disassembling the platform...this was by far the hardest and most time-consuming part. The previous owners built a VERY solid platform!!
Some of the wood might become components of a future chicken coop - some of it got a little messed up during the demolition, lol. And I'll definitely be replacing the insulation that was under the flooring...it had a ginormous ant colony living inside it!!! Eek!!
The photo below is taken from basically the same position as the first three photos in this post...if that can give you an idea of what was accomplished today!
And the picture below shows the pile of stuff on my land....now to figure out how to put all back together again! :P
Happy Domesday, everyone, and a million, gazillion thanks to Jason and Timothy!!!!!
Yay!
