It will reach far enough over the basement steps that I can fill my wood room without her having to come out and pass the wood to me. She thinks that is great. :||):

Nice! Less than a month before Christmas, John give guys an idea of something to buy their wife for a Christmas gift !
 
John,
Last year Aron came up with this idea using some plastic pipe I pulled out of a jobsite dumpster a few years back.
(2) pieces 14" diameter x 6 1/2 foot long.

No more walking up and down the steps with armloads of wood. Fill the wheelbarrow at the pile, wheel it over to the door, toss the pieces in the pipe, down they go to the waiting stacker.

We can get a 1/3 of a cord from the wood pile to the basement in less than a half hour.

That would be cool to incorporate into new construction.

Modern times call for replacement of the milk and coal chutes with a log ride.

Pull the bucket trip lever. The wood will be a whole lot closer to the bottom of the stairs that way.

Yup, but not what I was doing. I have a separate wood room poured beside the steps. One wall is common with the steps. Room holds about 2/3 of a cord, and has a door that opens directly into the basement with a steel door over the top of the room. Used to just back up to the door and drop the wood in, but since we moved Mom's trailer in it has to be passed over the steps. Loader is long enough I can reach the wood without Joann having to stand on the steps and pass it on to me.

Excellent, sure makes that job easier.

We have been using a 12' piece of 14" water/sewer corrugated sewer pipe to toss wood into the basement for about 10 years now. My cutter really liked the idea and he has been borrowing the pipe for a couple years now. Hopefully this is the last year we will be needing it. Next year I really hope to have my powered conveyor belt in place so I no longer gotta chuck. Bruce is hoping that he inherits it next year :lol:
 
I fashioned an old steel slide (off a swing set ) attached to a basement window (12 x 18 ) and put a upward swinging door on the outside.....Sure beat carting wood thru the house and downstairs to the wood furnace room....The old cat learned how to open the swinging door and would " slide " down the slide come up and scratch on the wood room door to be let in....That was some time ago, have a different house, and now use a pellet stove....No cat.....
