Yet another post about my grill
I did not realize that my hibachi would fit so well on the new top beside the grill. Yay! The piece of concrete under the hibachi was one of the kitchen counters that was replaced. I did not move the others, but I was eager to have this one for my grill. I carried it out and later set it here. It only weighs about 50 pounds. When I lifted it to set it here I felt that old feeling. The one that feels like a cold electric shot, shooting out of my lower spine, down my left leg to the top of my foot. This is another reason I have not gotten much done. I am forced to recuperate. Injury comes like a bolt of lightening, but recovery is slow like the changing seasons. Young people beware! It is a time-out punishment for being stupid. I could have used the hand truck to move it, and lifted it up with a lever and a fulcrum. I was told 35 lbs is the absolute maximum I can lift, and that I should avoid doing that as much as possible.
