And I know it hurts the pride but take it easy, hire a kid to do your lifting if you explain your broke they'll understand and won't give you a hard time for not doing the hard work.

The folks I work for have been very good about doing the lifting for me. I’ve bought carts to move stuff, changed the types of containers in which I carry parts so they weigh less, separated my primary tool kit into 2 containers, and so forth, but it is still very common to have to lift stuff. We do it without having to think about it. For some stuff, such as moving firewood I now make 3x to 4x the number of trips to minimize on the weight. Yet not lifting more than 20 lbs, which any guy can do with a finger, remains a challenge.
