Just how practical is it to Move a Warp-weighted Loom from between the Interior and Exterior of a Roundhouse?

An experimental programme at Butser Ancient Farm run between 2015 and 2017 was to investigate weaving within a roundhouse on a warp-weighted loom. Part of these investigations was an examination into the feasibility of moving the loom in and out of the house, to take advantage of the longer daylight...
