    Quoted from djsolzs:

    Looking at buying a new house keeping my collection in mind. Some of the houses we have looked at have a small hill going down from driveway to walkout basement.
    What’s your strategy to move your games down and up? Anyone build a ramp of some sort or tracks? Just man up and walk the dolly up and down?
    Just curious if anyone has built anything to accommodate this.

    I just roll with ours. Strap the game to the dolly and just take it slow. I bought the big wheeled blue dolly from harbor freight and that works great. If you have an extra pair of hands that makes it really easy.

    There is one local collector that built a sidewalk that runs from the back door of his basement all the way up to the driveway. His home was a new construction so easier to add to the plans.

    Quoted from djsolzs:

    Here is a picture for reference. I cant get a vehicle back here - but I like the idea of the yard cart on a tractor. Do you have any issues going down the hill or do you strap to yard cart?
    I have moved plenty of games out of houses but its only one off so I was just looking for any creative ideas.

    This is exactly the kind of grade I have. Get this. Probably same as the harbor frieght one.
