That bending over and crawling around is rough stuff But that's what kids are for
Moved 2 tons of 40 pound bags by hand yesterday without a problem. Minimal bending involved, and no crawling around. Still have another 2 tons to do. Maybe tomorrow? Hard to say, not feeling particularly rambunctious about it at the moment |

Restored and worked on a lot of vintage stuff over the years. I can't roll around on the concrete floor like I use to and struggle at all of it being a one man show.
Hope all goes well and you get a million miles out of it! You've put a lot of hard work into it. |
