I have just serviced our two barrows (wow, a two barrow family) and the difference is quite noticeable. Then again I like to oil and grease all tools as they last longer and perform better and more safely. For your health have a good dose of Vegemite on toast mate!

We thought we would have to raise the roof height at first but then found out it was not the floor we were standing on. My back still aches thinking about it.

I'm not one for staying in bed feeling sorry for myself, anyway. I’m not really on the mend - I’ve improved just enough that I can grit my teeth and get on with the work.

Having also moved here from slightly warmer climes, I've also found that we need to compost for two years to get straw to break down properly. Glad to hear you're on the mend !

We've already worn out one wheelbarrow (left here by the previous owners) and just had to repair the front wheel on the second one. I'm thinking about building a wooden muck/straw barrow - like a wheelbarrow but with a vertical front wall and removeable, slatted sides. I think I'm also going to need a good overhaul before moving that lot. :D It’s funny that you should mention that.

It will need to be in top condition to move that lot about. I think I’d give your wheelbarrow a service first. It will need to be in top condition to move that lot about.
