this saves my back
Those logs look pretty junky. You can drop them in my lot and I won't charge you a dump fee.

this saves my back
Ron, I hurt just reading your post! I've been in the same kind of situation before, trying to do too much by myself, and it is a great way to get hurt as you noted. To this day, I still flirt with trouble like that, and I am sure I am headed for a hernia or some other sort of pressure/strain injury one of these days. I need to slow down and think rather than throw my body at problems sometimes.

Thanks for relating. The LORD was merciful - I didn't die and I didn't have a stroke. I have been released to go back to cutting but warned not to get too carried away. I have just one more month of precautionary blood thinners and I must have periodic MRAs. Now if I could just lose that 16 or so pounds I gained laying around. Ron
Thanks for sharing that story. I was upset by my hernia and labeled that as the most expensive firewood I ever brought home. You, however, helped me see that something so "major" is in reality not so big a deal compared to your ordeal and, of course, compared to the grand scheme of things.
Nice setup there...and good-looking wood pile. Where's you find the wheelbarrow?
Looks like your son is able to help already! You're a lucky man.Love this thread and all the great ideas. It is all about not getting hurt and protecting the back from getting hurt.
Poor Man's log lift
Humble setup that keeps me going
I'll be 64 in one month and the only change is I use a splitter instead of a maul. I love cutting wood and getting in the woods.
