Made it out of the hole.
Last time we moved the mobile coop was supposed to be the last time moving it until the end of winter.
My plans were mired in the deep bedding I built up for weeks for the purpose of wintering the birds. Not one to give up easy, and having the fortune of a Bobcat leased to me for the weekend, I preceded to bury the coop deeper and deeper, and break it in a couple places.
So the past few weeks have been punctuated by jacking it up, digging it out, and patching the lumber I ripped off with the skid steer’s fork.
This evening, learning from my mistakes and haste, we started and stopped a lot, moved slowly, and alternated between pulling with chains, the hitch, digging out and re-positioning the smaller castor support wheels manually in between adjustments.
It took three hours, but it’s now its its permanent position. And I didn’t break anything, so there aren’t multiple more hours of work left to fix.
