I can relate!
I was a "hod" carrier when I was in college. That was a local term for "hard". I worked on the crew that mixed and transported the mortar, as well as set-up the scaffolds and laid out the cinder blocks and mortar plates for the brick layers.
Imagine lifting cinder blocks and mortar five stories on a series of scaffolds. I was definitely in the best shape I've ever been in my life. Ate five big meals a day, drank beer all night, and still weighed only 148 lbs. I'm 6'1" and weigh 20 pounds more these days. Such is progress.
