My basement excavation- like my summetime exterior landscaping by
shovel- is a combination of hobby/exercise/home improvement. The
digging is free. The footers and piers cast little. It is still
cheaper than drinking beer & buying a health club membership.

I am completely with you Jim. I'd rather do some jobs with muscle and
time... I call it no-brain (needed) work... let's my mind think about
important things, feel the satisfaction of progress every day, get
exercise, and save my nickels.
