Well this one has been on my list for the last five years.I bought my house back then and the yard was a huge mess with all kinds of overgrowth.While tearing it out I stumbled on this old wheelbarrow.I have must of moved this thing around I cant even remember how many times its been in my way over the years.I almost chucked it a couple of years back.So this weekend I get this itch to do somethin with it.So here it is.I tore it apart.Went to get a 2x4x10 Redwood lenth at the local Home Depot.Ripped it down and then cut it to lenth and then I cut out the handles and formed them with my sander.Stripped all the metal of the rust.Painted them.Then went to my stockpile of seasoned redwood that I had left over from doing the fences.Picked through it and started to build it up.Took up about 6 hours on Sat.Finished it up this morning.Now the wife is giong to load it up with flowers.

Yep George, looks good. I like antique kind of stuff like that, and we had a wheelbarrow just like that one at home when I was growing up. Wheeled that steel-wheeled thing around lots of times.

Did you get a pat on the head from the Mrs?? :D:D

Thanks guys,That is just one less project that I have now.My neighbor just built a cool Gazebo across the street,Now she is hinting that one would look nice in the yard.
