“I’m a “pay the guys to do it “ guy”

I’d love to be one of those, but it is SO hard to get good help that is reliable. Sounds like a cliche, but I’ve gone through a lot of people helping with the yard, and they all retire or move on. I used a woman and her crew to do pruning, weeding, and tending the beds, but she sold her business and the guy who bought it wanted $50/hour! I couldn’t believe it. I may have found a new young woman to help next spring. She’s been working for a neighbor and doing great work.

Sounds like a fun hobby. A fraternity brother way back had a ‘69 Camaro Z-28. That was a raw beast. I’d love to restore one of those. Or get my ‘76 Jeep CJ7 back and restore that!

I hope the help works out for you. No matter what, just make sure you take breaks when necessary. You’ll feel really weird if you are dying of a heart attack because you were getting decaying plant matter off of your other plant matter…

Old cars you can actually work on. My man hands fit under a muscle car hood.
I want a low tech vehicle, roll up windows and all.
No computers needed.

CJs are cool and fun. My buddy had one with a worked 360 and high ratio differential gears. It was quick…
