[quote=FlyerInHi]congrats. I know exactly what you mean.
I once picked up 1000sf of slate off of Craigslist and laid all of it for my dad. I hired someone some to pour the concrete but I did the tiling. It’s satisfying to accomplish something with your bare hands. The worse part was loading everything onto the pickup and unloading. But I did it.
I’m a big fan of incorporating work into exercise. The key to being healthy is to be deliberate to avoid occupational hazards such as breathing dust, too much sun, etc…
that’s why I have a lot of respect for Mexican immigrants who do all the grunt work. I once hired a guy off of Craigslist to do my granite countertops in Vegas. He and his buddies worked under 100F weather to get it all done. I was impressed.
I’m a big believer in not sitting on your ass and doing things around the house. Move non-stop, do physical work, exercise, eat well and you’ll live a long time.[/quote]
The shit work,
When Mexican immigrants do it all their lives , it’s admirable.
When you do it it’s good exercise and healthy and enjoyable, maybe profitable.
When married people with kids do it , it means they have made miserable choices and have screwed up lives. Strange.
