The Wheelbarrow!


This is Eddie's Father's Day present!!
It's an Industrial Wheelbarrow.
The Got Tools? is Uppercase Living vinyl lettering!
(yes, I still am a independent demonstrator for UL.)
We were supposed to get Eddie a wheelbarrow last year for Father's day, we didn't. He'd never tell us what kind he wanted. So a few weeks ago he told me he thought he was just going to get the old flat wheel off my dad's old one wheeled metal wheelbarrow. I thought, okay, he's going for nostalgia. A few weeks before this, I was at Lowe's and noticed the prices of wheelbarrows!!! No wonder why he didn't get one last year!!!!
So...while he was in Utah last week. I went to Costco. I thought I'll look down the tool aisle and see if they have anything new for him. They had a new head lamp. So, I got him that. Then I ran into the INDUSTRIAL WHEELBARROW!!! I couldn't believe the price! And it's at least two times the size of my dad's metal one and it has two wheels! Then I looked at the price!
Are you kidding me? I couldn't believe it!
After Eddie put it together, and then jumped in to show me how Industrial it actually was...
"You can put a car engine in it!"
I asked him how much he thought I paid for it. He figured it was expensive.
I told him $29.99.
I then found the receipt and told him I was wrong...it was $29.97.
Needless-to-say, he's very HAPPY with his new toy!!!!
Next....a chainsaw!!!!!!

Eddie looks like a double amputee in the wheelbarrow at first glimpse! It freaked me out. I thought you were showing off is new mode of transportation since losing his legs! Love you guys!

I now realize...after googling Pico Rivera that we probably drove past your house! Oops!
