What can I say ? Your designs look very professional. What an alternate...we could do a lot to improve our climate & air alone by building more native, lower water utilizing landscapes everywhere. I so concur on the water. I hate when I see parks here in the Phx area watering at non-peak times...even in the evenings ! Water just before the sun comes up in the summer & hotter months ! The water is at it's coolest pt; so is the atmosphere. Cooler water, best absorption w/ less evaporation--and NO wet feet ! Water early, deep & infrequent I always say. Inspirational, Pete !

That gas wheelbarrow should be electric. Costs less to refuel, less maintenance, no noise and no pollution.

time is money though and the sheer number of batteries you would need to keep it working for a full 8hr day would be a fair few and add a lot to the purchase price.

Cars go hundreds of miles on one charge and that wheelbarrow is not as heavy either, the quietness and I turn more usage time of day will also help pay Can charge during breaks and lunch

[@Wilbsss]

@@gordybishop2375 this is not a car. It's purpose is to move material. It has significantly less space for batteries. Why do you think electric lawnmowers are only useable for small courtyards and not big yards? Both cannot hold batteries with enough capacity for big jobs, simple as that. Battery power would reduce the wheel barrow load size due to extra volume and weight over a small 2 stroke engine.
