Plumbing engineer here. Digging is still fucking expensive.

I dug like an 8 inch hole next to my walkway the other day and it took like 5 hours and I didn’t accomplish what I wanted.

Oh please, I dug a 6 inch wide, 1 foot deep hole yesterday and outside of the cost of the shovel it cost me nothing. People these days just don't want to work /s

So far that rule of thumb seems to hold up quite well.
