Chase's Amazing Load Lifter

Chase had a school assignment to build an invention using a simple machine.  He's been learning about simple machines and his class is having an Invention Fair.  Unfortunately his mom is not a creative person so we had to get some help from his teacher.  Ms. H. gave Chase the idea to build a wheel barrow.  I hate to admit but we procrastinated a little on this project.  A couple of days before it was due, we were scrambling to build a wheel barrow.  Luckily our neighbor had some small PVC pipe that we used for the handles.  The rest was pretty easy.  I had an unexpected root canal that day and was not feeling well.  By some miracle, Matt got a little break from being on call and was able to come home.  So he and Chase put the thing together.  
Bridger was a little disappointed that he was in school and couldn't come to the fair.  Matt was post call and was able to come to the Invention Fair.  Chase had to make a poster describing his invention.  He named his invention "My Amazing Load Lifter."


Bridger was very impressed with Chase's invention.  He liked pushing it around the kitchen.
