I used to just load up the trusty Rhino then back it up to the back porch landing and unload it into the house. But since that #x***XX## thief absconded with my beloved Rhino I am now reduced to this, the beloved wheel barrow. Isn't he cute ☻
Next I had to figure how to get up the back porch steps, Thats where IRT: Deadliest Roads comes in. Watching them load those truck by walking up a 2x4 ramp lite the lightbulb for me.
Wala, 5 wheelbarrow trips up the ramps and around 3 hairpin curves inside the house ends up with one very full woodbox. I can now load my wood all by myself! Which is a good thing since #1 son is moving in with his girlfriend on New Years.
As you know, I can sure relate with taking on the wood cutting and hauling chore. I use a great product - it is a folding wheelbarrow and I got it at our local farm store. It has proven to be a real workhorse and is easier to wheel into the house.

ReplyDeleteNow I just need a better way to chop kindling. Since we heat with a wood cookstove, everything must be chopped smaller and one of these days I am going to chop off a finger or my foot!
