At any rate, stop being so elitist. Some people enjoy working on their own property.
Ah, who am I kidding? My wife is a cheapskate and won't pay to have others do suc h work, especially when her father, who owns a construction company, is always willing to help for free. The catch is that I also have to help for free. Ugh.
At least she's always willing to give me a couple nice massages after she forces me to engage in heavy physical labor.

There was an article a few months back in the WSJ that had a little chart to help you calculate when a project is worth doing yourself. Bottom line: generally, once you make $40,000 a year or more, it's worthwhile to hire someone to mow the lawn. As in, life is too f---ing short to spend what little free time you have on yard work.
My point: your story is depressing. Please, man, for the love of god, buy a motorcycle or get arrested or something. You're killing me.
