Olive Trellising and Pruning - 102

The words "unskilled labor" has an interesting meaning. Today while trellising, i learned that there are some people who are much more "unskilled" than others ............... but, how is that possible if everyone is unskilled in that field of work. As i began the day, i figured i would be finally finishing the olive trellising, but it seems that who ever it was before me that trellised had a very different idea as to what trellising meant. So, it took me 4 times as long because i had to untie everything that was done. Then try and figure out how to correct the pruning. So, today i as night begin to descend, i was able to completed just one row. If i had had a skilled "unskilled" person doing the work before me, i am pretty sure i could have completed 5 or 6 rows. Luckily, I had another person working in the field with me today and we did complete the job........ until after the harvest and then the pruning and tying starts all again.
