HAHAHAHAHA....now that cracks me up...but it's almost worth it in order to get some more free time. But, here in my area of California you can't even hire a 10-year old kid for $5/hr...heck they won't even work for $10/hr and if the do, their work will be so bad it's not funny. And heaven forbid the work is hard...
Mostly the yard work though it getting my spring flowers and plants ready and new plants in the planters, repairing any probs with the watering system (now THAT saves me a good 2hrs/day) and spraying agent orange to kill anything that is actually gorwing in the dirt...We have pea-gravel everywhere but use a lot of planters and 1/4-wine barrels because we get them here for about $8/ea.
In other words it's the sort of work I want to do myself because, well, I know what I want and around here gardeners charge a pretty standard $60/hr or more.
