... but I'm *really* happy with this new toy :
My house is built around a big masonry heater which does a pretty good job of heating the place as long as I burn a couple of medium-large fires a day in it. The downside has always been the pain-in-the-butt nature of hauling in enough firewood, particularly since there is a high efficiency furnace just begging to take care of the heating with zero effort on my part
Anyways, after a couple of attempts at cobbling together some kind of cart arrangement for hauling firewood around, and always failing because the wheels were too small to navigate the land, the gravel driveway and the stairs/porch, I finally weakened and picked up a ready-made firewood cart with 20" wheels. What a difference; it used to take more than one trip to bring enough wood in for a single fire; now I can bring enough for 3-4 fires in with a single trip. The firewood rack is finally filled up after living here for a few years.
The nice thing is that I can wheel this around the property cutting up fallen trees without wishing I had a tractor or a horse to haul the wood out. It's also pretty good for hauling out the occasional "what the heck did I put in this ?" heavier-than-spec garbage cans.
