IDEAS you might just have laying around

[Miss Lydia]

We had this old wheelbarrow laying around for years. I’m the type if it can’t be fixed off to the dump. Well my dh is totally opposite he says just like an elephant gun you never know when you might need something, so last week he pulled this rotten wood parts of the wheelbarrow and took it all apart and came

up with this idea now my Muscovy who would rather not get in the pool with the other ducks (you know don’t touch me kind of mine set)now have their very own bathing pool. Anyone else come up with ideas from things no longer being used for what they were intended for please share.

You can get kits to repair an old wheelbarrow. I salvaged my 30+ years old wheelbarrow with a new wheel and hardware kit for about $15.00. The tub and the handles were still usable. But everything is replaceable in kits if you want to rebuild your wheelbarrow. You can even get 2-wheeled kits to upgrade your old one wheeled wheelbarrow.

Having said that, I prefer to use my Gorilla carts with 4 wheels. They can hold a lot more and I don't have to fight to keep them from tipping over.

But it looks like you found a good second life for the wheelbarrow tub as a duck bath. That duck looks happy.

It's amazing what we can come up with. I know there is a member on here who has a clawfoot tub for their ducks just can't remember who
