Can grab a can of DeoxIT from Long & McQuade to clean the contacts on the switch.

I had to do a few trips. But pretty damn happy that I am able to carry wood without needing a truck now.
Got a hitch on that? You can rent utility trailers at U-haul for $15-20 a day, save a bunch of trips and time.
Generally towing with a CVT isn't highly recommended but I can't see a small utility trailer and some wood being an issue. I think a lot of the reports come from people overloading them (still personally don't like CVTs though).

There is some useful ones that fold up and stand on end too if it becomes more regular and don't want to keep renting/borrowing one.
1st result example just big enough in theory for full sheets of plywood/drywall.

Looks to be about $25+tax a day. But probably wouldn't have saved much time. As I'd have to 2 do trips to pick up and drop trailer off. Plus I needed this done before 930 since I was working. Rona had some 5/8 melamine on for $14/sheet on clearance. Wanted to snag it before others.
Going to try to tow my boat next year. Although it is aluminum so it and the trailer should be under 500 pound. Well under the the 1500 max tow capacity.Generally towing with a CVT isn't highly recommended but I can't see a small utility trailer and some wood being an issue.

I miss all my trucks I owned dont get me wrong I like my car but its low and when rain especially snow seasons kick in well I like my trucks the clearance for alone, also moving things and or having to move, I still have a very old extremely heave plasma TV siting in the closest\storage space in my suit that I cannot get rid of because I may be able to mover it but I have no vehicle to move it with so its been sitting in that space for the past 9 years and like i mentioned the TV is old it was new in the mid late 1990s lol
I don't remember seeing a plasma in person until early 2000s. The only people I knew that had large screens were all rear projection styles and were overly expensive even in the 90s. Can't imagine what the first wave of plasmas cost when they were brand new like that.
San Andreas on the giant rear projection was a lot of fun...
Something like that I'd try my luck on Kijiji to sell it and "pick up only" if it isn't broken and not intending to keep it.

I'll ad a bit more context,
The pumpkin on the porch was 3D printed (I did not model it) by myself then I added some LEDs powered by an arduino with some custom code.
The Skull and Pumpkin in the windows are store bought but again have those DIY LEDs powered by an arduino with some custom code.
Barad'dur aka Eye of Sauron was another DIY, this time higher amperage red LEDs (2) so they'd glow nice and bright so it would look like it was looking at you. Wife thinks I should try to motorize it for next year to track people to really freak them out.
