Hey lovely people. i'm so glad my question has helped other people. That situation is long gone (was last year in fact) and I've moved 200 miles away. My lifestyle has changed as well. I'm no longer desperately poor, but alot of my constraints are still the same. I must be frugal. the new bf doesnt like to carry anything dirty in the back of his car. (getting him to bring home 2 bales of straw cost me lots of work with the vacuum). I still dont have a wheel barrow. But he does like the idea of buying me a small truck... but I dont know when that's planned of if it's just a 'someday' sort of thing. fortunes change (took some pain to get here tho) stay hopeful ana

Interesting Question! Notice these are not sharp bends, which meant I had options (plus more). 1. A Di Acro Bender, 2. A span of heat or moving heat to the outer curve and force. 3. Using conduit or cable while forcing the bend to prevent a collapse and thickness as even as possible. This is 1" sq X 1/16" thickness after the original 1" sq X 1/8" was too much "noticeable" dead weight. Notice the 1" band braces welded on the outside of the bends next to the tub needed with the 1/16 vs 1/8 tubing. The axle is a bolt through pipe sections tacked to the tubing after I felt the height was average. The front and rear braces are 1" X 1/8" band iron. The tub was the largest I could find at a commercial Hardware Supply. I would consider a 2-wheel design if I had it to do over. Advantage, not having to balance the load while walking. Disadvantage, maneuvering due to not being able to lean in turns. Last, notice the use of 1" X 1/8" angle as rear legs and front to reduce weight. The 1/16" tubing design weighed half the 1/8" and has carried all the wood and concrete it could hole over 30 years. loger

Have just pulled one wheel off a log splitter the tire of which has sat flat for lord knows how long, probably through at least one winter and summer. Unfortunately we had to make the splitter roll about twenty feet, thus breaking the bead on one side. No way that I could see to reestablish the seal. Then, finding this thread I tried the ratchet trick, first putting dish detergent - maybe too much dish detergent - all around the circumference and then putting the air to it. Massive bubbles from a couple of locations, and the tire does not inflate. So I guess I will first take out the valve stem and see if the extra air will make it pop, andif that doesn's work then some silicone caulking the way someone suggested.Don't think I'll try the ether/lighter fluid trick, though. One thing I am not clear about, and that is, does prolonged application of air result in a seal, like well over 5 minutes? I have a pretty good Campbell-Hausfeld compressor that should provide enough. maybe I should try that again

I saw one at Price Club, but I don't know that it was light. Is the Garden Club meeting at Cylburn on the 22nd?
