/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1497003
13 yr journeyman electrician here, we arent posting because we know our jobs arent the hardest/toughest in terms of a physical sense. I didnt get into this trade because it was hard... I worked a few years as a glazier, that was tough climbing a 6ft ladder with a 250lb sheet of glass in my hand and then setting it gently... made drywall feel light weight as fuck.

Electrical is tough in terms of the amount of volume and organizational efforts one must do to be decent at it. Feeder wire sucks to handle, digging sucks, on a roof in a blizzard or middle of the hottest days of the year, and setting gear can suck but usually its so heavy you use equipment, same with 4" rigid pipe that is threaded into place.

no trade is physically easy but glazing, steel (think about weight 50lbs of safety gear and tools and being on hot/cold steel) and framers all have it pretty rough in terms of physical work.
