This week on Renovation Thursday I am getting prepared for the outdoor work that is coming up on my schedule (below).  There is a lot of it, and it would be really helpful to have a working wheelbarrow.  Our poor wheelbarrow has had a flat tire for about a year.  I thought about changing it…once or twice…but never got around to it.

Good thing I didn’t either, because in talking to our neighbor, he saw the aforementioned wheelbarrow and told me to get a solid rubber wheel for replacement, instead of a hollow air-filled one.  So, back to Home Depot (my favorite store…truly…) to return the air-filled replacement wheel, and I picked up a solid one.

This week, I finally got to put it on.

And, because I was also decluttering the laundry room this week for Minimalist Monday Mission, I decided to knock out another thing on the list and replace the screw that had come loose from the sink bolting it to the wall.  Took maybe 5 minutes…why did I procrastinate on that one so long???
