Did a search on Google and came upon your post.<br />I must admit I was astonished that they did not have wheelbarrows back then. As shown, they would have made the work a lot easier.<br />If, as you mentioned, they were using wood to make there barrows, they would have been extremely heavy and not really all that useful.<br />They would probably have used large carts pulled by donkey or ox, which unfortunately in that program they did not have. Although they tried.<br />I feel that the program was good, but a couple of things were an issue with me, one being that they would have had someone else build there tools/equipment for them before hand.<br />You don't go suddenly into building a house with absolutely nothing, so they should at least have been equipped with somethings from the period, and I don't mean the couple of things they were allowed to bring with.~Drifter~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02947399415764750671noreply@blogger.com
