Unloading Wheelbarrows

Unloading Wheelbarrows
Originally uploaded by paulbrockmann.

Unloading the wheelbarrows — in temperatures that partially melted

the heavy industrial paint on them — left permanent reminders on

three different t-shirts and one pair of pants. It also left me sore,

but satisfied from hard work. The barrows were distributed in pieces

— two separate wheels, the axle to connect them, and the barrow were

all separate. So once we unloaded them, we had a group of people who

assembled them all.

After this you’ll see one of the guys who helped unload rolling a set

of wheels away after he attached them to each other, and one of him

with me and Manuel, my housemate, our French logistician on the

mission.

Did I mention that these are among the strangest wheelbarrows I’ve

ever seen? 🙂
