Patience.  Eventually, I won't be able to prepare the firewood or
carry it up the stairs.  When that happens, I'll probably need some
help from a lift, conveyor belt or rope tow.  The design will follow
whatever I'm not able to do (climb stairs, lift weights, handle a
chainsaw, carry groceries, etc).  If I design something today, it
might not be adequate for whatever I'm dealing with in a few years. No
need to hurry.

Also, I suspect that if I build a lift today, the neighborhood kids
will turn it into an amusement park ride.  

One more day of splitting, plus one more day to clean up the mess, and
I'll be done with this year's firewood.
