    Neighborhood trash day score!

    People throw out the most useful stuff that just needs a little TLC.

    Picked this plastic tub wheelbarrow off the curb. It needed new handles and a never-flat front wheel replacement. In addition, the tub's anchor bolts were starting to pull through the plastic.

    Lowe's provided the steel replacement handles. The no-flat wheel was sourced from Harbor Freight. A pyramid of ever-larger stainless steel washers fixed the tub anchoring issue.

    The rebuilt wheelbarrow is seeing lots of use hauling split firewood to the house for winter warmth.

    Photo #2: After new steel handles installed along with new never-flat wheel.
    Photo #3: Stainless steel washers anchoring tub to handles.

    I have not bought a wheel barrow in years. Good find. I have two dual wheel Jacksons, both free with a little work.
