Well, I‘ve looked over the wiring and actually running it seems simple enough, the wiring is already there but is in desperate need of replacement. Only problem is I‘m looking over wiring at the local hardware store and are unsure of what wiring to get. Electrical work is something I always want to be careful with because a simple yet costly mistake could result in something worse, like a house fire. So I always want to make sure I got it right, I don‘t want to get the wrong kind and overload it, but also I don‘t want to get something way more than I need and just spend all my Money, so whats the perfect type of wiring should be looking for to tackle this job? By the way in case this matters its a 3 prong Outlet with the Red Black White setup if that helps anyone.
Buy 3 conductor 10 gauge copper Romex cable with a ground wire. The red and black are hots and connect to the breaker. The white and ground will both go to the neutral bar in the load center box. At the receptacle end the neutral connect to the 3rd prong and the ground connects to the wall plate. If you are using conduit, use 10 gauge wire in the right colors. Herb
I, personally, have trouble with the barrow trying to tip over sideways on our gently sloped yard. I've never used a 2 wheel but it seems to me it would make that problem go away. I would vote for 2 wheels.
If you go slow and want to DIY it's not all that bad. It can be a pain for newbies to work with the thicker gauge of wire used for a 240v dryer (220,230,240v all mean the same thing but 240v is correct). Most of the work is doing a proper home run with the cabling and routing it safety to the box in least damaging way. The new code wiring is 4 prong, four wire or 10-3 romex (usually orange). Only the dryer is on the circuit. It's a 30 amp dual pole breaker. You need a new plug for the dryer if changing. Surface mount plugs are easier to work with than the in wall flush. Both need proper cable clamps going into the box.

I agree with sophieb. The single wheel ones are the real ones, made for heavy-duty stuff (just make sure it has a pneumatic tire instead of a solid rubber one.) The two-wheeled ones aren't really wheelbarrows, they're garden carts. Since your husband will be the one using it, take him to a store with a big selection like Home Depot and let him do a little hands-on with various models and pick the one he likes best.
