I used to like doing stuff like that when i was about 25 years old or so but nowadays the level of sweat and exhaustion turned it into a major chore.  I was kind of looking forward to it until I was 20 minutes into the job.

I think a lot of laborer jobs fall into that category when one turns 50.  I think the job that I'd hate the most is being one of those dudes that pick up the county residents debris (branches) every single day.  Construction is not my thing either.  Man, I pretty turned into a [BLEEP], now that I just roll out of bed and work from home

Yeah, labor jobs are a [BLEEP].  Especially in the heat.  I, at times wonder why people (or even myself) pay for certain services.  I paid a guy 375.00 to pressure wash a few weeks ago.  I have access to one, a good one at that.  But hired it out.  I get it.   I’d hire JFC to detail in/out of my truck.  I assume that’s a 150- 200 job as well.  Then it dawns on me, that’s EXACTLY how I make my living.  Mowing lawns.  I guess it’s all in what you’re used to.  I’d rather mow 25 lawns in one day than spend 2 hours detailing my truck or pressure washing the house, fence, sidewalk and patio.
