Thanks for the tips guys. Nice pics as usual Jim and always a great help. I checked out those timber carriers and they seem great but also out of my budget at this point. Do those timber carriers carry longer , heavier timbers as well? Where could I find those rollers you use attach to the sawhorses. That is ingenius by the way.I was hoping there might be some other techniques for moving timbers that would be affordable as well but I guess you have to spend the money to save your back. I was pondering with the technique of hanging a pulley above the timber , rolling the timber with a peavey over a chain and hoisting the timber up on to a cart, and then the other side and rolling it on the carts to the site. I know this sounds time consuming but might it be a feasible poor man's transport technique. Let me know what you think as it may be another of my many newbie ridiculous innovations. tb
