One word, many weeks, a whole lot of wire-brushing: WHEELBARROW.
Friends, the before and after of this gem is astounding. Found this wheelbarrow in my great-grandpa’s homestead, and spent a lot of hours soaking, spraying, rubbing, wirebrushing the steel to restore it to its pre-rusty shape; didn’t really touch the wood other than to seal it because I LOVE the faded paint—and I didn’t need a functional wheelbarrow 🙂
Other things I’m grateful for this week: Nali’s ‘tritis medicine that got her bod back to happy (or as happy as an almost-14-year-old dawg bod gets), one (1) climb outside with my bro, the pelo, alley adult kiddie pool, my friendos, a salsa wine tasting for which I CANNOT WAIT. I love my fam and neighbros and also wine.
