20:39 <@Dagmar> I am ded
20:43 <@Dagmar> Audra got me some work gloves so I could shovel and I dug a 12ft trench in rocky soil to bury a 6" drainage pipe.
20:43 <@Dagmar> ...and now my everything hurts
20:44 <@Dagmar> But at least I kept the skin on my palms
20:50 < Evilpig_> Dagmar: You're of the age now where you hire someone to do manual labor
20:51 <@Dagmar> I'm noticing that
20:55 <@Dagmar> Any ideas I had of redoing the front flowerbeds myself are long gone noe
20:55 <@Dagmar> er now
20:56 < Evilpig_> second lesson.  after you hire someone and they finish the job you have to complain that you woudl have done it better and these lazy fucks are just out to get your money
20:56 < Evilpig_> I don't make the rules, you just gonna live with em
20:59 <@Dagmar> Oh, no.  I was planning on being suprer-duper lazy
21:00 <@Dagmar> I was going to just put more ground cover over the old ground cover, and then hold it down with red lava rock because 1) it's cheap, and 2) it's very light
21:00 < ShellGh0st> Dagmar: That
21:00 < ShellGh0st> is the hardest work
21:00 < ShellGh0st> trenching etc
21:01 <@Dagmar> Yeah.  Especially with the soil being very rocky
21:01 < ShellGh0st> I did it a lot until I realized Home Depot will rent a mini ditch witch.
21:01 < ShellGh0st> Like a tiller fscked a chainsaw
21:02 <@Dagmar> Oh you're shitting me
21:02 <@Dagmar> fuuuu
21:02 < ShellGh0st> For 12 ft it might not be worth it, but I'd say even that is close to cost/benefit tipping point.
21:02 < ShellGh0st> I'm super lazy sometimes tho
21:03 <@Dagmar> Fuck if i'd known a power tool was an option I would have rented it
21:09 <@Dagmar> I have a cat who is _seriosly_ checkin me out right now
21:09 <@Dagmar> "Daddy... you smell like *blue collar labor*.  Why?"
21:15 < ShellGh0st> lol
21:44 <@Dagmar> Hah.  Now that I've taken a shower he's all affectionate again instead of acting like I might have been replaced by a smelly hobo
