Carry a metric tonne or so of wallboard up the stairs because the lift hasn't been installed yet, empty all the wheelie bins on site, sweep the floor, all that stuff.

Basically, the people that do all the work that's beneath the dignity of a tradie.

You and I are on the same page. We're talking about hard work, simple, non-stop bullshit. I wouldn't put tradesmen in the same bucket.

Hell, I thought being a cable guy was fucking rough, but slinging mulch and rocks at Lowe's has been far worse, even trying to adjust for a 25-year difference in my age. I did insanely hard shit hanging cable, but it wasn't non-stop. My legs are more solid than they were running across rooftops installing satellite.
