On my time off in one summer, I rebuilt my garage, put a roof on it in the middle of the summer heat, built a rock waterfall for the pool, graded and poured a concrete slab for it (hand mixed all the cement), moved all the materials from the front where it was delivered to the back, carried all the stuff on the roof, did it myself. Point being;

At the end of the day, doing hard physical labor, I was less fatigued from that rather than a day at work sitting on my ass thinking all day.

Note: You really can't appreciate how good a cold beer tastes until you pound in the last nail on your new roof and it's 100+ degrees outside.

Very true....a feeling I've experienced on a few occasions
