Building the Luggage Cart:
Before you can host a Carriage Ride, you will need to build your Luggage Cart. Your first step is collecting Building Materials. You will need the following items to start building your Cart:
  • Handbags
  • Cart Wheels
  • Metal Sheets

To collect Handbags, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your Friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Cart Wheels and Metal Sheets to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

Note: You can send a request for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction Menu. 

Now that your Luggage Cart is almost complete, you will need to hire Friends to help you finish the job. The Luggage Cart requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Building Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish Building” button.
