I don’t know why, but it didn’t dawn on me that wheelbarrow tires could go flat. I guess I just thought that it would be nothing but a solid wheel. Not only that, I don’t use the wheelbarrow that often, so who knows how long it’s been siting flat. The hill going from my driveway to the back yard, with the shed and firewood rack, isn’t real steep but it’s steep enough to make the trips of carrying the boxes of firewood tiresome and a strain on my back.
