MANUAL LABOR SUCKS

[tortus32]

I used to do more manual labor around the house/yard, but as you get older (and fatter) you realize how it's so worth paying to have someone else do the work.

When we first moved into our new house, I knew I was going to have to dig a new turtle pen (I raise & rehab box turtles). The pen is 25 feet long and about 4 feet wide, and the whole thing needs to be at least a foot deep. I dug about 3 shovels worth of rocks and clay. Then I went down the street where they're still building new houses, got the guy to come over with the big shovel and he dug the pen for me in about 5 minutes. He dug up rocks bigger than me! I would have never been able to do it with just my little shovel. When he was done I happily slipped him a 50.
