Putting up wood for the winter

Three years ago we got rid of our riding mower, and bought a walk-behind DR mower.  Doing this also meant that we wouldn't be able to use the riding mower to haul wood up from the lower garage.   We'd have to haul it by wheelbarrow or by the armload. 

This decision was a conscious one to force ourselves to move more, to not use machines to make things easier for us. 

At our age, the more we move the better.  Mowing the lawn using a walk behind mower, and walking wood up from the lower garage requires effort.  Effort is our friend.

We make it fun. 

We have an entire two-car garage filled with wood for heat.  Pushing that wheelbarrow up the hill is a lot easier when you consider that each load represents about $20 or so worth of propane.
