Howard's first this fine warm autumn day! So are granddaughters!
ReplyDeleteWhat puddle said...
ReplyDeletelistener--I think we have come to the conclusion that simply putting heavy duty casters and a bit of bracing on the bottoms of a couple sheets of plywood would be a practical first step--in short, a pair of very low-slung four by eight-foot wagons. (Pull ropes included.) That gets the grapes/raisins in and out of the garage without carrying, is easy to stow, and only requires lifting onto the sawhorses if we want to get it out of reach of animals or make it easier to work on.

My eldest grand and only grandson just completed his first week of college. Whew.
ReplyDeleteYou know, September is the only month we *don't* have somebody's birthday. Every other month of the year *someone* is eating cake!
ReplyDeleteAh, Alan, I believe a sideless wagon is known as a dray. Let us know how it works out!
ReplyDeleteWow, puddle. That's wonderful...and quite a journey marker! ♥
Susan, we have no months without cake, but September is the most jam-packed. :-)
Ahem, I do believe Listener's birthday is coming up in about a week and a half.

DeleteYes. for your purposes, I highly recommend the cart version, as opposed to the squirrel's nest. A sledge might not be advisable in warm climates. ;-)
Cat...yes, I'm part of the jam. ;-)
