When we thought about how to landscape our park strip, we decided to put down rocks...lots and lots of rocks. Part of why we decided on rocks is because it appears to be this region's greatest commodity. They're everywhere. Last year we did not completely finish the project, so this spring, we were at it again. I dug out our wheelbarrow and went to work.
A few words about the wheelbarrow...
It's basically made by Fisher Price.
Not really, but it might as well be.
All kidding aside, I like it--it's been a great help for us. It's light and the wheels do not deflate. We've used that little thing so much last year hauling literally tons of rocks and dirt. If it had a fault, because of its design I had to take baby steps when hauling the rocks. It wasn't until last weekend I figured something out and it had to do with physics.
I found a point, by leaning the wheelbarrow forward, that it balanced on the wheels, similar to using a dolly or hand truck to move very heavy object. By balancing the load, I could stand up and walk normally. With that small discovery, it made the task so much simpler.
Funny how the little things can help so much.
