Major Jackpot (WOOT!)

[georgialee]

My sister found this for me on craigslist:

http://knoxville.craigslist.org/grd/2289830394.html

it's 12 small or 6 med/large cages.

I hatch a bunch of chicks so this will be great for a brooder and grow out pens... also if I have a broody.

Going to get it tomorrow

eta: it's at least 12 feet long and about 8 ft tall

I have no idea how we're going to move it though... any suggestions?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to move this easily? Cut it into pieces?

most cages are held together at the panels with 'j hooks' there is a tool that can take a 'j' shape peice of metal and bend it into a closed loop-

if the cages are held together with those two sets of needle nosed pliers will undo the loops, then you can weld the cages together or buy new j-hooks OR use zip-ties to put them back together...

Wow that is huge, it doesn't look like its something that will be easy to take apart. Maybe rent something from Uhaul or similar to move it?

I'm sure you'll be able to take it apart in order to move it. Call the seller and ask if you should be any special tools with you.

Also make sure you scrub, flame and disinfect every inch before you think of putting your own animals inside. Nice find.

need a trailer and lay it on its back and drag it up on the trailer

Thanks for all the ideas! We have a 4 horse trailer we can use I just have to measure the width. It still might not be wide enough, lol. We'll bring a bunch of tools so hopefully we'll manage.
