LOL Holy Shit man, this has to be the stupidest thing I have ever read.
If you make over $10 an hour then everything I wrote is %100 correct.
You grow your own vegetables? (no, you shop at a store to save time)
You sew your own clothes? (no, you buy them already made)
You bike to work? (no you drive to save time)
So you cook every single meal you eat?
You hand wash your car and vacuum you car every month?
You do all your own landscaping?
You shovel all the snow on your driveway?
You cut your own firewood?
You chop down the tree?
You Said:
"I don't know many people who don't have 45min to an hour of time in a month, they would have to be busier than a president or prime minister"
You pay extra every day to save time.........
Lmao, call it stupid all you like. It would be somewhat helpful if you actually knew me though.
You grow your own vegetables? Yes I do thank you, my garden's growing as we speak.
You sew your own clothes? No but I can.
You bike to work? Not when working 50mi away, it's a bit counter productive.
You cook every single meal you eat? Most days, yep. If I eat out it's maybe 3, 4 times a month max.
You hand wash your car and vacuum your car every month? No I wash it at least twice a month, I vacuum it and I wax it once every 4-6 weeks unless stripping it and giving it a thorough waxing. Why? Because you get what you pay for and auto washes look like shit. That must be why you see so many jags, audi's, mercedes etc lining up at the $5 jiffy wash. If a ran a customer's jag through a jiffy wash they'd be pissed.
You do all your own landscaping? Yep. Outside of hauling in rock but then most people don't generally have the ability to bring in 22tons of rock in their daily driver. I'm perfectly capable of using shovels, hoes, skid steers, front end loaders, gannons and power tampers. Used to work for a landscaping company when I was younger.
You shovel all the snow on your driveway? Where I live I don't generally get enough snow to shovel. When I lived up north I used a snow thrower. If the need arises then yes, I'll shovel if I need to.
You cut your own firewood? Yep. When there are dead trees, I don't generally like cutting down live trees any more than I have to. When they're dead, down they go. This goes along with cutting down my own trees. Yep, my husqvarna works incredible well. A couple of times I've enlisted help when dealing with trees over 30-40ft which are damaged or split and close to power lines or structures. It's not a one person job at that point and requires limbing and topping the tree as well as tying it off to prevent it falling the wrong way. Lop off rounds from the trunk and I use a splitting maul. When I threw out my back a few years ago I bought wood for awhile. It got rather expensive and still had to be moved and stacked.
And on top of all that I still have the time to wind my own coils. Guess I'm just not helpless or completely inept, nor would I want to be. Oh and when I decided I wanted a new workshop I didn't buy a shed kit either. I dug out the foundation by hand, cut and laid the treated 4x4's for the retaining wall along with ties, drilled the 4x4's and cut the rebar I used to pin them into the ground. Backfilled it by hand with a shovel and wheelbarrow, around 8 tons of 3/4 minus, tamped it, bought the lumber for it and built it from the ground up. 2x4 construction to code with two lofts and roofed it with sheet metal, sided it etc. Built the double doors from scratch too. Complete with shelves and two work benches.
So to quote you, holy shit man, that's some of the stupidest shit that I have ever heard. One of two things, either you're complaining because replacement coils are costing you too much which indicates your budget's an issue - or you're making so much money hand over fist that you can't be bothered to wind your own coils and spend 10min to do it. It can't be both. If you're making so much money it doesn't matter then what's the issue? Just replace coils as needed. I pointed out that handwrapping coils is multitudes less expensive and a more economic approach. No one's forcing you to wind your own by any means, it's just one option. Suit yourself.
