Promise Acre: Our Journey

[Devonviolet]

THAT'S exactly what WE did! We are too old to be dead lifting 55-60 pounds in the air, even if there are 2 of us lifting it.

Silly me!! OF COURSE you make "stairs" to get them higher up. I'm sure I would have managed to think of that eventually.

Heeey wait, isn't that "southern speak" for "generic insult"??

More like "you may have issues but you're trying and we like you ANYWAY"

It is a kind way of saying you are stupid and we feel sorry for you....... It took you a little bit, but you figured it out.

Don't feel too awfully bad.....my husband and another man picked up 20 square bales for me and my husband said the shed was FULL. Huh? I KNOW I had stacked over 80 bales in there and he said 20 filled it up??? I went to feed and these two big men stacked the bales FOUR high! Bless their little hearts........ I made hay steps and stacked them up into the rafters, then went and got more hay.

Lots easier to drag a bale than carry it. Stack them 3-4 high. Make one bale as a step. One person on bottom of the stack, another on top with a hay hook (you do have a hay hook--right? ) Person below hands one end of the bale up to the guy/girl on top, the topper grabs it with a hay hook and pulls it up and drags it to the back. Rinse and repeat.

Or you could just make a deal with your hay supplier.......and he brings you a round bale at a time and stores your hay in his barn........

Bless his little heart........

You guys are amusing... we stack 6 high, 7 in the middle of our 12 x 16 shed... 144 to 150 bales fit.... DH has to do most the stacking.... I don't stack it tight enough. I make stairs.... Got to make the most of what you have.
