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.

    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.
