Last Sunday was the perfect day for getting pellets into the house. My plan was to move 2 tons, then move the other 2 tons thru the week. I had to clean out the corner in the basement that I store pellets since I've been using it for storage while ripping apart other areas of the house. That would only give me room for a little over a ton (I already had a little over a ton there as leftover from last year) but with the cabinets for the bathroom in the house, I could start loading up the back wall of the garage with pellets.
Me and my trusty 4-wheeler (okay, it isn't motorized but it does have 4 wheels) started the project at 12:55 pm (first pic is at the very start of the project) got thru the first ton in about 45 minutes. Load 5 bags in the cart, move the cart to the door between the basement and garage, carry each bag about 40 feet (of course the storage is at the furthest corner from the garage) and place in a stack.
Then the second ton - the first 3 rows went into the basement and the rest went into the garage which much easier as I didn't have to carry them, just stack.
I decided I had enough daylight and energy to get the other two tons in so I now have a bit over 5 tons readily available for use.
I was done with pellet moving at 4:40 pm - not bad if I do say so myself.
Better you than me :P though we'll be stacking wood for days once our firewood delivery gets here.....

I don't miss stacking wood - I always had a hard time not to make it into a leaning tower of Pisa!

So now you can brag that you lifted four tons? I like that!
