Hi list, since my husband has been ill, I have been doing the dog food toting. It has been very hard on me...40 lb bags feel like 400 lbs sometimes. I solved my problem...I bought a rolling garbage can, (the kind on wheels)....it has been a godsend.. I take it out to the car, position the bags of dogfood over the rim of the can, (one at a time) slice the bag open, and watch the flow of kibble! The can holds 3 bags easily, and rolls easily into my studio, even up one step. I also use it for bringing in groceries. I just put them all in the can, and haul them to the kitchen! Also, for whatever is too heavy for me, load it into the can and take it wherever I need to. I also take it out to the shavings bin, it is much easier than the wheelbarrow, I can position it next to the pile and just pull the shavings into the can, (no more shoveling!). or lay it on its side, and rake the shavings in. Best investment I ever made! (Naturally I have two cans now, LOL) Syd SYD MAILBERG 425-432-4144 NEW FRIESIAN PAINTING ON WEBSITE 23910 SE 276TH ST MAPLE VALLEY, WA 98038 _http://www.kingswoodgermanshepherds.homestead.com_ (http://kingswoodgermanshepherds.homestead.com/) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
