Plumbing engineer here. Digging is still fucking expensive.

I dug like an 8 inch hole next to my walkway the other day and it took like 5 hours and I didn’t accomplish what I wanted.

But that's the life of a plumbing engineer. When he's not drowning in pussy.

When it comes to DIY I'm not touching anything remotely similar to something Colin Furze would make a video about.

So far that rule of thumb seems to hold up quite well.

Oh please, I dug a 6 inch wide, 1 foot deep hole yesterday and outside of the cost of the shovel it cost me nothing. People these days just don't want to work /s
