My Dad asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Past two years, he'd hooked me up with seeds, but I got excited about seed sales early and messed that up for him. So I asked for a wheelbarrow. Dad went down to Tractor Supply in Mechanicsville, and bought me one...some assembly required.
These were the complete instructions - I am not kidding. There wasn't even a picture of what the finished product should look like. I built it on Christmas Day on the patio. There was gnashing of teeth. There was pounding with a hammer (NOT on the list of tools required.) Liquor was involved. In the end, man triumphed over large pieces of metal with poorly place bolt holes. A wheelbarrow was born.
OK, it wasn't as dramatic as all that, but I was very happy with the end result. One word: Shiny.
