Leslie wrote about the difficulties of bringing wood pellets home without an auto, and feeling she was of insufficient size to handle the weight of the sack. Forty pounds is 4 10 pound sacks of flour or sugar. It's not all that much and a persons stature is not a determining factor in carrying 40 pounds. But the sack IS awkward, and manuvering thru the isles of public transportation clutching 40 pounds would be difficult for most people. However - the sack will fit on one of those small suitcase pulling devices. I'm sure they have a 'real' name, but it escapes me at the moment. Small platform that flops down, bungie straps to secure stuff, a handle that comes out of the frame. Set a box on the platform and rest the end of the sack in it before strapping it down. If someone doesn't have one of these already, they are a great investment, and run from $10 to $20. They are wonderful for taking several cages somewhere. Another item of note - Home Depot's now offer rental trucks. For those whose cars won't hold more than a couple of sacks at a time, you can now make a larger purchase by renting the pick-up right at the store. Wow, it's stove pellet season again in the stores, and I managed to get through the whole summer without running out and going into panic mode. On the downside, my driving a car all summer with 10 sacks of pellets in the back and on the seats has probably done wonders for my gas mileage! Georgia - the left coast one...
