5. Meh, the first bucket of cement up the stairs isn't that big a deal...

It's the fiftieth that really sends you home ready to do nothing beyond falling into bed after a few beers, you go backwards up the stairs at home because after an hour ride you're so stiff you can't go up forward, your quadriceps feel like someone beat them into a black and blue mush.

Then you get up way before daylight and do it all again tomorrow after some other trade screws up the job you did today.

Good times and the pay has actually fallen over the years.
