I bought a white oak log once from a mill for $60, for your “Make a Joint Stool” book. Had them cut it into 3’ sections, transported them one at a time in the back of my Subaru wagon. Even then I pretty much wrecked the suspension. The guys at the mill thought it was great fun, watching a clueless idiot like me try and wrangle a 500lb log. Now I’m too embarrassed to go back to the mill. The joint stool turned out great though!
Go back, if they remember you it will just give them a smile. Next time borrow or rent a truck. You can get one at Lowe’s or Home Depot for $20 for 90 minutes. Certainly cheaper than suspension work.
As I get older, I really dislike things at ground lever. Knee height is good. Waist high is better.
There is more planning about those things than when I was younger.
