Look! Old Croquet Cart Transformed into Yardwork Caddy

Proving that there are many folks far more resourceful than ourselves, The Oregonian featured this handy way to reuse an old croquet cart, for which the actual croquet set had long been missing pieces.

 
 

Once the remaining balls and mallets find another home, a new coat of paint dresses the caddy up to be ready for organizing rakes, brooms hoes and shovels.

That broom looks like the sad cast off from the Swiffer commercial. It appearsto have found a good home with the yard keeping equipment.
