I guess we have had this wheel borrow for about 4 or five years.

About 6 months ago, I broke the one handle, where the wheel is attacked. I Mickey Moused it. 

Okay what to do now? I was talking with my neighbor James. He was telling me that Home Depot sells new handles for them. I went online and they are $19.99 for one. that will be $42.99. Then replacing the bolts =$52.00. Okay this has done me well. If I buy a new one? Will it last as long as this one has? 

I went to Home Depot and bought the handles. Thinking I will reuse the bolts? Got home and tried the old bolts and nuts. To short. the old handle was 1/2" thinner. It might even be 3/4" different.

Ran back to Home Depot and got new bolts. 

Barrow itself had carriage bolts holding it together. Really all the blots were carriage bolts. 

One carriage bolt 2" is $.90. Then looking at crown bolts. $.43. Wow. I only got two carriage bolts for the barrow itself. I bought the crown bolts for the rest of my needs. 

You can see how much thicker the handle is. I just modified it a little. It still will work. 

I put it all back together the way it was built before. The brackets that hold the wheel in place were on top of the handles. I tried it out and the ends of the handles dragging on the ground. 

I switched the wheel around to the top of the handles. 

Works great. But as I was writing this blog. I was looking up things and found a brand-new wheelbarrow for $49.99 at Walmart. Maybe I should have just bought a new one? It's okay, it works, and I am okay with that. 

Oh, how did I break the handle? Well, I am moving out things that we have been storing in a rental shed for a while now. There are many boxes that weight a lot, I put a box in and snap. 

With these handles it should hold up much better. 

Well, this morning I started reading the Book of Romans. 

Something that popped out to me. 

Chapter 1:19-20

For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. (20) From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God Made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature, so they have no excuse what soever for not knowing God. 

Folks do you know Him? Please trust HIM.
