Start again!<br />Oh, and I have had to make all paths wide enough to accommodate ours...<br />the missus prefers her single wheel barrow...<br />and for a flat, use a motorbike puncture repair aerosol...<br />works every time... <br />and enough stays fluid inside to mend.... <br />and thus avoid, all future punctures.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-48745757337264446272015-03-04T04:45:08.617+00:002015-03-04T04:45:08.617+00:00Donna, hardly anything comes assembled in Europe.Donna, hardly anything comes assembled in Europe.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-20953466158269383742015-03-03T17:10:19.283+00:002015-03-03T17:10:19.283+00:00It's a beauty.

I have my eye on one with two from wheels so I don't flip over the top when the one wheel digs in.

We have a red barrow courtesy of my brother in law who has a welding building in our yard - he made the whole thing about thirty years ago from a sheet of metal.
