Good luck Brett! I have been trying this for a long time. I have waited over three years to get a new depth finder for Christmas from the wife. I have that yard service you are talking about and no tools. I have two sons to take them free. I have been chancing the lottery every once in a while. Just playing for the small amounts hoping not to hit it big because I know I'll not get anything then. Your plan sounds good for a younger fellow who can handle bruises. Being the Marine that you are I hope the wife can't out maneuver you without you buying her a new car!
