A nod to the Tennessee Ernie Ford song (you tube link).
No, I didn't load 16 tons, but did move just shy of 2.5 tons of pellets from the garage to the basement yesterday. Why? Because HD is having a great sale on pellets, so I just ordered 6 tons and need someplace to store most of them. I can fit at least 4 tons in the garage. The rest will have to stay outside.
I'm debating upping my order. But, in order to have any chance of getting a garage built this summer (which is looking less and less to actually happen because prices are rising drastically again), then I need to have clear space in my yard. I have some time to think about it though since the delivery isn't scheduled until next Friday and I still have to get the road agent's okay since my road is posted for 6 ton limit during the spring thaw.
Seriously, two of the pictures I tried uploading a non-turned and a turned image and all of them show sideways. At least the picture modifier option actually showed up for me, so I could fix them.
The orange bags were already there, but everything on top is from the garage. Also, before loading more on this pallet, I carried 2 bags upstairs to be loaded into the P43 when the hopper runs low. This pallet holds 5 bags per layer
These bags were on the large pallet (which is shown after this pic) and are now close to the basement stove for use this spring.
All of these bags came from the garage. This pallet holds 8 bags per layer
When the delivery comes in from HD, I'll have them drop 4 pallets in front of the garage so I can move them in bag by bag (the garage is not tall enough for their machine). Then the rest will be placed in the yard and covered with a tarp.
