My wife wanted to extend the gardens in our back yard - so this morning I headed outside with a shovel to get the grass up. I did that rather than rent a turf cutter because:

• Getting them to deliver it would have been $50 each way, plus the cost of actually renting it.

So, four hours later, I had this:

Now I'm thinking that the $100 would have been totally worth it - and my back will only be too happy to second that tomorrow...
