Just did the math in my head and that's FIVE TONS. For one house. That's like lifting a small pickup truck over your head all day. No wonder my back is shot after fifteen years.

Yeah, the tag line weight trick. I tried that once and nearly launched my whole rig into the next county. My coordination is not great. It did help with the depth though, I'll give it that.

So your rain barrel decided to become a waterfall feature for your driveway? Classic. I swear those plastic fittings are made to fail just when you need them most. You might be onto something with metal, but in my experience, even that can rust out. Honestly, half my garden projects are just finding new ways to stop things from leaking.

My uncle was deep into the moon hoax stuff for years, had all the grainy YouTube videos saved. What finally got him was the mirror thing, you know, the one they left up there that scientists still bounce lasers off of today. He couldn't explain how a fake mission left real, measurable stuff behind. It's like what you told your cousin, @david_martin, about the governments keeping quiet. Once you actually say the big secret part out loud, it just falls apart. I used to just get mad and argue, but now I see asking those simple, quiet questions is the only thing that works.

Classic. Always check the brick first.
