''You've got to spend money to make money.'' I agree wholeheartedly that there are time it's just foolish do everything yourself. I remember one instance when I needing 5-600 pickets once and dreaded the thought of handling 75 lengths of 3/4'' sq and cutting them into 30'' pieces........Then I asked the supplier, how much to cut em? Cripes it was less than $150 and saved me probly a whole day of lifting and sawing and when I picked up the load it was on a pallet.....a forklift put it neatly into my truck and away I went, no lashing 20 footers onto the overhead rack, no flags......I spent a hundred and saved TIME, wear and tear on yous truly and that was good return by my reckoning........
