How do I load exercise calories burned?

I have had a truck load of firewood delivered and it is in a pile on my driveway. I have been filling the wheel barrow and taking it and stacking into a shed. So far I have done 2.5hrs and still have probably another hour or so to go before it is all away and stacked. But I cant find anything about doing this in the exercise database although if I google and enter info on a site called Fitday it gives me 252 calories burned per hour so how do I load this into the exercise part of my diary?

    You can create a custom exercise.

    Click Exercise -> Click My Exercises -> Click "Create An Exercise" -> And enter in the 250 calories/hour from the other site.

    Thank you very much and after 3.5 hours I am still going, just having a breather but I can see the end is nigh. VBG. I think I over ordered the wood but at least when winter comes we will have heaps to burn and any left over means I wont need to order nearly as much next time.

    Yeah, that's some Rocky Balboa (Rocky IV) type training right there, haha!

    The truck did not look THAT big but after all that looks were deceiving;-). Thank goodness it is now all stacked and away after 4 hours. Luckily I am on holiday from work so had all day to do it. But once started I only took a couple of breathers (about 5 mins) and half hour at lunch, I just got stuck in and got it done.
