That is literally me, although I suck at all the handy work that needs to be done, so everything ends up looking ghetto, but at least it gets the job done.
I already do what I can to get rid of weeds and dandelions on a regular basis, but some of my neighbours, including those from a few houses down, don't really give a damn about weed, so they end up sprouting up all the time.
Mowing the backyard alone takes up to 4 hrs, since I am seeing all those weeds that I couldn't see before and it annoys the heck out of me to just leave them there.
Now that I am a homeowner myself, I realize I really gave too little credit to my old man for keeping the house together in a decent shape all these years...

So, there's always something to do on the property which doesn't leave much time for wrenching, working out, whatever your other hobbies are. Part of the reason my wife wants to move to a condo, if I find a 4 car enclosed, ocean view strata unit in the same price range I'll take a hard look at it.
