They are relying on skill, experience, common sense, and ability.

Interestingly, the more the workers rely on these skill sets, the less you
pay.

As for violations of labor law, etc., I think the plan is to swarm all over
the project, get it done, and disappear before the bureacracy has a chance
to take the complaint, fill out the forms, get approval from at least two
levels of supervision, find a notary, assign an inspector, check out a
vehicle, and stop off at the donut shop.

a string trimmer with the guard on it is pretty much worthless for ANY
kind of real production work. I will go with the boots and long jeans
being a good idea.

Gracious, that looks painful. What did you do, for
aftercare? Bunch of triple antibiotic with praxamine, and a
fistful of ibuprophen?

725 Ryobi going full speed.

Due to unbelievable restraint on my part, everyone was OK.
