What jobs do you hate?

I solved that by only doing it when needed. So far 22 yrs without needing it.

It been about that long for me too. Glad to know I’m not the only one to do it that way. I was beginning to get a little worried.

Septic here is required every 5 years, luckily my tank is very deep so they put a 24" well casing with lid. No more digging out the tank cover for me.

Oh, most hated job, finishing drywall, followed very closely by painting.

ICurious what tasks others despise (or is it just an old age thing!).

I'm kinda retired myself...but mostly just getting old. I still enjoy and look forward to most tasks, but now that I'm older I hate to work confined or bent over. If I can work standing at a workbench that's much nicer.
Sitting on the tractor seat is nice too. Where I gotta say one more time that getting a tractor that had a canope and backhoe with a thumb were two of the best tool decisions we ever made.

All morning I've been drilling through concrete floor using a hammer drill and 1" drill bit. Several holes so I can put in a 3" PVC section to run water and electric through.
What a horrible job. Resharpen bit every 1/4" or so. Masonry chisel & 5# hammer does nothing. A mask helps some.

A SDS max drill is the best thing that ever happened for drilling holes on concrete. What takes an hour with a little hammer drill takes minutes with an SDS max.

 

[Fuddy1952]

If I had to drill lots of concrete I'd get one.
Hopefully when this is through I won't have to. Nice hammer drill though.

Have 2 hammer drills, smaller dewalt and a bosch SDS max.

I bought an adapter to put SDS bits in my SDS max because I hated the little hammer drill so much. The problem is drilling holes for tapcons is the max hits so much harder that it wallows out the hole and the tapcon won’t take. I’ll probably end up getting a SDS drill to add to the collection.

I bought a brand new Makita 90 degree hole hog at an auction. Never used it much, but sometimes it's just the thing you need. Must watch that your arms don't get torn out of their sockets!

My Dewalt has a clutch that works pretty good but I’ve knocked studs out of a wall bracing a hole hog against them.
