Wheee! Behold the Newfoundland firewood slide

Loading wood into the house is now child's play for two men in Gander, thanks to a little rig they came up with.

Garrett Hunter was helping his friend, Matt Edison, chuck a few cords of wood into his basement, but the logs were banging up the bottom of the window the menwere tossing them through.

"I said to him, 'Matt, there's gotta be a better way,'" Hunter said.

That's when Edison's fiancedirected the pair to her son's old backyard slide.

The guys screwed the bottom of the slide to the window sill and propped the otherend up with a few spare two-by-fours. The set up worked like a charm and cut down their loading time.

"Two cords of wood in a half hour ispretty good," Huntersaid.

When they don't need it, they pull up the screws and put the slide away. When they've got more wood to load, they re-install the slide.

"She's right there by the wood door, easy to access," he said.

"We were joking around, I was like, 'We should make one and go on Dragon's Den with it or something. You never know right?"

He said the wood slidecoulddo quite well "especially in Newfoundland."
