I thought about spending the money for a high-end model with unbreakable steel handles, but I kinda like the cheap ones. They are very light & much stronger than they look. I usually find em on sale for less than $40, so it's a no-brainer.

Great movie lol


Me and aero can be wheelbarrow buddies.. old pic so it's even worse now.. but the wheel I use for masonry

It leaks the first one or 2 mixes.. it squeaks and it has a serious lean to it. And it's ridiculously heavy from not cleaning it out perfectly everytime.. I named it wheelie haha.
I also cut the front down so it's easier to pour concrete

My question is...... what the hell happened to that hawk?

i bent it up.. was easier to scrape mud onto the slicker when it hit that angle, that was my first hawk.. i have a brand new one i always bring with me too.. its the one under it. just because im waiting for the bent one to break any day now

Yeah, i dunno how mine hasn't took a shit yet either. It has allot of miles on it.

Maybe it's because the tire is always flat? Maybe that helps them live longer? Lol

I'm sure yours looks all busted up from you mixing up mortar all the time in it?
Mine has been used mainly for sand for stucco, etc, and dirt and shit. Only mixed up concrete in it maybe 100 times?
The wheel barrows that the hod carriers use for the plasterers on the job might last 2-3 months? Max? maybe 4

yeah mines like an all purpose hahaha.. but its lasting forever somehow.. easily mixed up a good 1000 times in it im guessing. i have a good brand new one i take really good care of. i was on a job wrapping up and i was scrubbing it down to make it spotless.. everyone was laughing at me haha. the electrician on the job went and got tire shine from his truck and shined my tire lol

that was when i first started.. it took a little bit for me to get that quick motion with the slicker down. most of the time now i just use a big block trowel.. its a little faster if you always keep your bucket of mud with you

Florida has great thunderstorms.

As does the Gulf of Carpentaria.
That place also has "roll clouds". I'd love to see one such one day, sigh

*note probable sailplane*

the gulf of florida had some crazy storms.. one of the coolest things ive ever seen weather wise was a water spout.

I have dreamed about those but never seen one in the real. I used to have very detailed tornado dreams. But oddly, they were not nightmares. The funnels were beautiful, even when one went right over me.

We have the summer heat lightning almost every day . It just rocked the house hard like 5 minutes ago.

But when I was 12 we visited my step dad in Tampa lightning over the gulf every night, pretty much all night , an awesome experience.
Also learned to get off the beach when it's lightning lol.
