    Suck up to who??? Suck up to who?? mate!! You NEED to make yourself a trailer... or better yet next time her highness takes you into town go to some hardware place that has those gardening yard trollies... get one! then make yourself a small towbar... bung em onto the rear of the chair and buggar of and get them!! strewth mate you could go down and get the lot one way or tuther bribe some kid with a couple of bucks "here look son I need you to do me a favor an load the wood into me tailer" then all you gotta do is use the ol muscles and run it home easy as!

    mmm as long as its on the flat you should be right... imagining you on an uphill slope stuggling with your front wheels up in the air rubber blowin out the back an not movin... or... a down hill... full load on the trailer YEEEEEEEEFLAMINHOOOOOOOOOO!! gotta get our jollies somehow eh?

    I dont think they can take too much weight which would be a good thing... a few loads and bobs your uncle... hey!! how about your take said missus for a walk one arvo trailer on the back and say "well would yer lookat that honey reckon you would mind chuckin a few of them in the trailer for me? Your a sweetheart thanks" and cause she dotes on yer hand an foots its easy as eh!

    Yep the more I thunk on it the more I reckon you should get yourself a trailer and hitch imagine all the bits and bobs you could score that way mate? make yourself a small hoist... like a light weight hiab and with its controls in your lap a rear vision mirror you could pretty much do it all yerself... mmm maybe a set of log clamps? if its all controled by you in your chair should be easy as... shouldnt be too hard to make up surely? a bit of fiddle faddling a bit of tinkering and muckin about but I reckon it could be done... think about it! they make controls for beds and all sorts of things so why not a three point linkage for the controls of the hoist and log clamp?

    And imagine the independance!! "Just gonna belt of up the road and grab that stack of timber the shire boys cut up the other day darls!" Im not talking about the big logs shyte Im not that mad... but the smaller ones like your talkin about... it could be done I reckon

    Not meant as a insult or nothing mate just getting my juices and yours and anyone else reading running thats all... maybe someone nearby will think "SHYTE!! Shanes actually hit on a bloody good idea! AMAZING!!" and so start tinkerin and muckin about sortin something out for you... be cool eh?
    Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

    Trailers are very useful, especially for longer stuff, but the off chance of "picking stuff up" is one reason why I still hang onto my clapped out old 1982 mitsubishi van. Council pick ups items and stuff like this generally don't last long by the side of the road.


    It can hold 3m lengths (just) and a 1200 x 2400 mm sheets of stuff.

    It's also very good for carrying chain saws plus all the associated bits and pieces to go milling although some sort of a 4WD would sometimes get me closer to the action.

    The students and lecturers at work call my van the "Bob Mobile" - it is definitely the most clapped out rusty vehicle in the car park.
