Step 1: Preparing to Move Your Farmhouse
Before heading to Robin’s Carpenter’s Shop to relocate your farmhouse, you need to ensure that the new desired location is free of any obstructions.

Ensure the area is entirely free of any interfering items.
- Clearances are vital: Make sure the location is large enough to accommodate your farmhouse.
- Think ahead: Consider placing your farmhouse near other amenities like your barn or coop for ease of access.
