Re: moving them in the garage to avoid cold snaps. Here is a site
with potentially a good idea for that:

One would need to custom build them, rather than using Rubbermaid
tubs from a big box store as a base, and picking up one end of one of
those could generate serious back strain. Maybe wheels on both ends
with kick stop wheels on one end to keep it in place once you get it where
you want it would be more practical. You could also put a trailer hitch
on one end, or a 3-pt tractor hitch, or just a big eye bolt on each end
to attach a cable to, or a 12-volt battery box, an electric winch, and a
solar charger, etc. (Lots of possibilities for the DIY tinkerer.)
