My only job was the hardest one. Assisting a plasterer carrying all the mix around, mixing, cleaning, etc.

What is the hardest work I can remember? Random days in the Army...

Toughest work I ever did regularly was batching concrete (for duplication of weathered stone ornaments)... the piles of sand and aggregate were stored outside, so before the hard work of filling buckets and dumping them into the mixer, in the winter I'd often have to work over the frozen piles with a pickaxe first.

I've been a "tradey" for 40 years now. The toughest work I have done is the ones were you are in charge of the whole operation. Directing manpower and ordering hundreds of thousands of dollars of material. The stress is incredable, I'd often much rather grab a hammer or a shovel and just be one of the crew again.   ;)

I trust you enjoyed a nice frosty cold one Mazza, after the hard work was over of course. [smiley=beer.gif] 8-)

A question...What is the hardest work you can remember?

When I was a junior in high school (one or two years ago  ) I had a summer job that involved me carrying two bags of some sort of roofing cement stuff (about 50 pounds each) up a LONG ladder to the roof of a school gymnasium where they wewre redoing the roof.  Fun work if you can get it in the hot summer sun .  Paid VERY well though.

Today it probably would be illegal... too much weight and too high a ladder for a "kid" to be using.  Back then it was "Hey kid, we need more up here.  Hurry up!"

best,

My hardest was a few years ago. I had this job through a temp service that was offered to me as "oh just stacking some stuff on pallets". It turns out that the "stuff" was 55 pound bags of dry ingredients for food processing as it came out on a bag filling machine. 55 pounds doesn't sound that bad, but try lifting it every 20 seconds for six hours. It was supposed to be an eight hour day, but I only lasted six before I disappeared. I'm not one to walk off of a job normally, but I just couldn't go any longer. On top of that, whatever that dry ingredient was, it was near impossible to wash it off of my skin and it took over two weeks to get it out of my nose.
