"Damn, dude, you need a truck."

I thought you had a Kia Sportage? ;^)

BTW, can't you rent a truck from Home Depot for like $20-25? Compared with the amount of time you are investing in loading the car with lumber, trips to the Home Depot, etc. it is probably a reasonable investment, IMHO.

We cleaned up the front yard and Amy suddenly grows a green thumb.

So, we went to home depot in #4.  Picked up #1, #2, and #3 Friday.
Went back yesterday, picked up 12 of #5.  Yes, we fit them IN THE
BACK SEAT OF THE CONVERTIBLE, with about 4-5' of big wood logs sticking
up out over the back of the back seat (with the other ends wedged under
the driver and passenger seats).  Looked really funny, and as one guy
said in the parking lot, "Damn, dude, you need a truck."
