Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 never, ever metion wanting a rototiller for the garden and a membership for a health club in the same conversation with your spouse...mine said " I can handle both without leaving the house, here's a shovel. Now we saved $500 on the rototiller and $300 on the health club membership. " " ....and your neph wanted you to get more exercise and lose some weight. " My arms hurt and I still have a good 100 ft x 50ft of soil to turn over on our front hill. I'm turning it into a wildflower/native plant type garden, drought tollerant of course. I've come to realize I can work about a 6ft x 6ft section at a time before I have to quit digging for the day...though today I got a bit farther than that. I guess as I get back in better shape I'll be able to handle more. Then we had 25 tons of fill dirt delivered yesterday....the driver couldn't get the truck back where we wanted it **due to bad driving on his part, there was over 100ft of manuvering room!** so now I have 25 tons of dirt to move the final 200 ft to the back yard by wheelbarrow full. I think my health club membership has turned into a bottle of sunscreen, pair of gloves, a hat, and a good shovel. LOL!! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hey another member. I am also a member of the " shovel and rake " health club. Watch your butt cheecks, mine were so sore after hauling dirt back and forth in a wheelbarrow, actually it was the shoveling and turning that hurt. Think about the famers tan you'll get, no laying in a tanning bed and paying more $. Now with all this $ your husband is saving he can take you out on the town.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Oh my goodness Amy, that's pretty impressive, being able to turn that much soil!! I think I would have complained and petered out on the whole digging thing after about an hour. ; ) Sophia > never, ever metion wanting a rototiller for the garden and a membership for > a health club in the same conversation with your spouse...mine said " I can > handle both without leaving the house, here's a shovel.
