Building a wall (literally) calorie burn?

So today's task is to build a wall, a small wall. Will probably take me 2 - 3 hours. Although this will require some carrying of bricks and and hand mixing of cement it also requires some sitting on the floor hitting them level. What would I log this as? I'm not sure general gardening would work? It looks too many calories.

What would other people log it as?

Thanks :)

    I wouldn't log it: why would you?

    What would be the calorie difference between your activity setting and an active setting if you were a full time brick layer?
    Then take a third of that for 2 -3 hours.....

    But in reality if I was going to log it at all I would just guess or make it the equivalent of a nice glass of wine. Cheers!

    I wouldn't be logging this as there is absolutely no way to tell the difference between your normal activity and the increase in activity for this particular task.

    I was going to log it as Sunday's are usually do nothing days, I don't build walls for a living. My activity level is set as light activity as during the week I'm on my feet, walking around all day at work and I've already done the scrubbing, sweeping, hoovering and mopping that I assumed was light activity. I don't log cleaning anyway.

    But as most of you say don't log it I probably won't :).
