    Has a split of firewood ever fallen out of a wheelbarrow and not landed directly in front of the tire, while you are pushing it?

    Happy Friday, fellow hoarders!!

    Love, Cash

    That's where they end up on me, or occasionally they'll fall to the side and then I'll step on them, rolling my ankle pretty good. :picard:

    Rarely do I ever wheelbarrow wood so I’m out.

    Or how about unhooking a chain and the hook catches and hooks on anything in its way. Couldn't make that happen if you try.

    Or when you have two keys on your key chain that look alike, but for different doors and you pick the wrong one 100% of the time.

    I don’t use my ATM card often, but when I do I know my PIN is one of two numbers. I get it wrong the first time. Every. Single. Time. I even try to reverse-psychology myself and I still get it wrong.

    I’m surprised you haven’t gotten advice on how to properly stack wood in a wheelbarrow to prevent spills. One man gathers what another man spills…

    That front tire is a split magnet. Happens all the time.

    I have no doubt there are “proper” ways to put wood in a wheelbarrow. I use the throw it in hastily and push fast method. 60% of the time, it works every time!

    Yep! I’m trying to get the last bits of splitting and stacking done before blizzard season. We’ve had a few dustings so far, but overall the weather has been incredible.

    Have you considered an 8 cubic foot one with dual wheels? Heavy when loaded and being big you wont overload it. I use one at bundle storage for shuttling splits from the truck to the stack and dont lose any splits. Dual wheels are a game changer too. Less tipping.

    It’s funny you say that. My wheelbarrow is my dad’s old wheelbarrow. He gave it to me when he bought a nice dual wheel wheelbarrow. I’m too cheap to upgrade.

    Oh yeah. Frank has a nice trailer. I just use the wheelbarrow for quick trips around the wood yard.

    Me too. Got mine for free just by asking. A few repairs and good to go. Check CL/FBM as they are often for sale. Ive found decent ones cheap.
