I'm from the US so maybe we do things different here than there. I work as a carpenter but I can say I'll never be a brick layer / brick mason / stone mason etc. These trades absolutely murder your body, you will have a hard time finding a guy who's been in 5 or 10 years that's not in bad condition.
Not to mention I think they read the OSHA (safety standards in the US) handbook just to break every rule. |

Awesome man! I was hoping you'd come back and update us. So nice to see you fitting in well and you haven't packed it in. Put in the graft and you'll be a fully fledged labourer in no time! |
