I spent a couple hours this morning laying 200 or so cement grass pavers @ about 55 pounds each.... Thoruoghly whipped my butt.....
How do you folks that have to move those weights all day for a living do it?????? Must be a different set of muscles...........
 
Building a bulkhead on the Esatern Shore, I had the lumber delivered, and went to unload the full semi-load of 2x12's and 4x16's treated pine. Driver asked where the fork-lift was, and I said I never thought to get one. He asked wehre my help was, and they never showed up. I unloaded the entire load, and hauled it down to t he river, and stacked it, took all morning, and I went back home and went to bed.
 
Well actually I wasn't being a smart a** but I guess it could be taken that way.
Every time I start a heavy duty project, my mind says I can do it and have it done in less than an hour. And as usual, I do get it done but it takes 6 hours and 3 days to recuperate from it. So I am just like most folks with some age, experience and knowledge....my muscles have slowly migrated from my body to my head!
 
My old boss put it best, "they're not heavy until you think about it". Kinda works. Then you get to the 80+ pounders. After that, those 55's are filled with helium! Lol!

After a year of working with block, the next isn't so bad because your body has already built up the muscle it needs to do the job. Builds big muscles & an even bigger appetite.

I deliver masonry products for a living. We use a fork lift, and hate it when we drop or dump something and have to pick it up.
Seems like its always the 120 lb. ones.
