DIY should be things that are kinda fun to do. If its not don't do it.

Yep been there and done that ... I killed a cheap Bunnings shovel about 10 years ago on the very first hole I dug for one of my boundary fences , each hole took took me a couple of hours to dig (I wanted them deep enough for the fence never to fall over and to take a bag of rapidset each steel post , unlike the original fence that had buggerall concrete holding the posts , no wonder it blew over) and it was dambed hard yakka with a shovel , spade and a mattock .... !!! took better part of week all up and my neighbour never lifted finger to help .
I'm not used to hard physical labour .... would probably do myself an injury or worse .... digging holes is not my idea of fun ....
