Wheelbarrows!

One of the unfortunate things that happens during a project like the church rebuild is the daily casualties of wheelbarrows. As tragic as it sounds, there is hope for their broken pieces. The heavy work of hauling large rocks and numerous loads of sand tend to wear them out quickly- and when that happens, they are brought back to the shop and fixed, reinforced, and sent back up for more work!

We fix about 2 per day, on average; we try reinforcing them in any way possible, but somehow something else always manages to break!
