Excellent, excellent discussion!
I have now been convinced that it would NOT be a good idea to deliver the
logs for this cabin using the old deuce. It IS for a customer and it would
take more than one trip.
A commercial tractor trailer has been hired in the past and I'll guess it
will have to be the way to go this time too, even if it is only about 100
miles to the building site.
"Local " deliveries within VA has worked well before with the deuce, but
that's on country roads and within 50 miles of home.
Living and working in the boonies can take one away from the real world,
that's for darn sure.
Thanks again for your help!
