Hauling Wood
Dec. 18th, 2024 05:28 pmOn Monday of this week, I went to Big R and paid for a pallet (390 logs) of Pres-to-Logs. As usual, I had give them the SKU and deal with the people who thought we wanted a pack of six logs or a ton of wood pellets, but eventually we got that sorted out. I committed to getting the pallet by Friday. Of course, with Lisa's injury, she only can use one arm, so I need to do the heavy lifting.
Today after work, Lisa guided me backing up to the utility trailer, and somewhat to our surprise, it fit onto the tow hitch on the first try. Lisa did have to fiddle with the wiring on the turn signals to get the right one to work.

The fastest we've ever unloaded a ton of firewood is about an hour. I expect it will take quite a bit longer for me to unload this one. The sooner, the better, because we have to leave the trailer hitched up while it's loaded; otherwise, the trailer would tip the load off the back, and we'd be left with a mess of broken logs. So at the first opportunity after work tomorrow, it's time to start shifting logs. Fortunately, the next couple of days show little chance of rain.
