I grew up in the suburbs and married a girl from a town of 700 and moved to a slightly larger town. My in-laws have a hobby farm and largely do all of their own maintenance, and the whole place is constant chores to keep in good order, and that's when nothing's broken.

I'll put it this way, while clearing several inches of snow in -10 degree weather the tractor broke down and would not move, so my father in law had to hand shovel the rest of the driveway plus a path around the stuck tractor to be able to get to work and then fix the tractor in the middle of the driveway until it ran well enough to get into the unheated machine shed where he's at least not working in the cold wind. Oh and there's more snow coming in a couple of days so better hope he gets it fixed fast. It's a new adventure like that every couple of months on top of his working 40-60 hours a week at his day job
