Looking to buy a wheel barrel. Will using it to move some bricks and for
other around the house usage. Seems HD and Sears are the only major
dealers for wheel barrels around here. Any recommendations... metal,
plastic? Other features to look for?

I may be mixing some cement. Do they still use wheel barrels for this...
metal or plastic... any difference? Or, am I better off mixing cement in
something else? I'll be filling some sonar tubes (sp?) and mortaring
around the house. Thanks!
Thanks for all the advice. I didn't know it. We had one up in the attic.
It's an old metal one with a steel wheel. It's old, and a bit awkward to
handle. But, it will do the job.

Thanks for the mixer idea too. I'll probably to filling a number of two to
three foot deep tubes. For mortaring around the house I could do the mixing
by hand.
