I bought two black rubbermaid 45 gallon trash containers with wheels
(#1345). I fill one with small pieces of wood and the other with large
pieces of wood. Then it is easy for me to drag them up my 3 steps into my
house similar to the way you would drag a hand truck up steps.

And they don't seem to be too heavy to me when loaded with wood, but after
installing my 450 pound wood stove, anything would seem quite light!

The added advantage of these containers is that they have lids, so they keep
hitch-hiking bugs inside the container.

They don't look very attractive sitting in my living room, but they are
quite functional.

Hello all - second to my last thread about getting wood into a
basement, I also have to get wood up 5 stairs into my ground level
living room. Generally I have 2 wheel barrows, one up the stairs and
one down, and I throw the wood up and then wheel it into to house in
that one. I need around 2-3 cords a winter in the living room, so its
quite a few loads.

The ramps I've seen in Norther Tool are around $1000, so they can toss
off. Hence I'm looking for ideas. I can put a ramp up the stairs but it
has to be light enough to move out of the way easily.

Thanks for any tips!
