Assume that's length not depth.... :-) from the above picture (ignoring dogs tail, I had a dog that did similar, in most pictures she was somewhere...*) the posts are the other side of the fence... and the sprinkler is to help what looks like a lawn in poor shape. Of course then you will have to keep it cut... more manual
No 20ft deep cause it's a big sprinkler.. lawn is okay but I'm trying conserve on water.

Tested the sprinkler this morning and seems to work well.. next up is to fill the fountain. Still have some painting to do and plan to replace the pickets on the old fence

...if you're a woman. Or a man born with a pussy where his ass should be.
manual labor (countable and uncountable, plural manual labors)

(American spelling) Work done by hand or using basic tools rather than by machines; usually physically demanding but (sometimes derogatory) unskilled labor.
if you do unskilled labour for a living, then well done. but i'm surprised you wouldn't rather be wroking some piss easy desk job counting the money people make from manual labourers.
I do yeah. Not jealous of the people i know with desk jobs, besides my one buddy who's an IT guy and spends 90% of his work week playing around on the internet...i'd take that gig in a heartbeat. Otherwise I'd rather spend a day outside in the rain with a sledgehammer or shovel than i would making small talk, attending meetings, kissing ass etc. Working indoors at a desk saps your soul in ways that manual labor is incapable of.

Another secret that is largely lost on people these days is - the day goes about 400% faster when you're busting your ass.

Put another coat of epoxy on the water fountain and will fill it tomorrow. Also applied some filler around the front door in preparation for finishing the paint job around it.

whatever pat. you seemed to be doing that jliat trick where you correct someone for saying something they didn't say, in a condescending way, while taking the moral high-ground about it, in order to make someone else feel inferior and unpopoular, and then denying it.

that to me sounds hostile! deliberate or not.

Odd you think I do that- above- yet email that you like me. Then nothing for a few days... not on topic, but it would be nice if you could give an example, and if so i'd apologise.

Luke your input into this thread has only been negative. First you called manual labor meaningless and now you are lashing out at everybody in the thread. You are pretty much being a troll.

The above is a joke, a poor one, with no intention to annoy, and in no way depicts anyone living or dead, actually it depicts quite a few dead... doh!

Pretty lazy day. But fixed a puncture on my sons bike and did a bit of clearing out of some rubbish in the garage.

Will get down to playing with my new Volca Drum tonight fiddle
