is this a taper?

I have a contractor coming to look this evening, but the rough estimates of my neighbours (everyone in Vermont knows everything about houses) seem like an awful lot. (I’m the guy riding a $250 bike) So this morning I pulled the porch out of the corner of the house with a swasall and a prybar and rolled it across the lawn. Moved about 30 100lb granite flags, and cut sods with a mattock out of about 300 sq ft. of lawn. All to keep some water out of the basement that the neighbours (everyone in V…) say is no big deal anyway but my brother-in-law has my wife convinced…

3 days from my first tri I’m a wreck, and I’m not even close to shoveling stone in and grading it. People say their jobs interfere with their training, but how about vacations?
