I've dug three footings in the last week, although much smaller. Once your a few weeks into the new season your pretty much used to it.
Digging footers by hand is the equivalent of cutting yourself with a razor.
It's pain for the sake of pain.
This is true, only upside here is all the areas I work are usually a clay/sand mix.
First guy I worked for was all about hand prepping his walkways and patios, it was brutal but I didn't know any better.
Once I moved to a bigger company every crew had their own dump truck and skidsteer....I felt like I went to heaven.
Now I take a machine every chance I can on my own stuff, you don't dig by hand here, you can't get past the topsoil without hitting shale or bluestone. I can only imagine how back breaking it would have been for those old timers that hand dug and built the stone foundations on the farm houses.
