The hardest thing I did was demolishing and old building. A lot of dust and rusty nails. I was careful and lucky enough no to hurt myself but some people did cut themselves or stepped on a nail. It took us couple of weeks to demolish the entire building. After that the construction itself was easy. It's just 2x4 and pneumatic nail guns. When we were bricklaying I would have to carry the bricks for 1-2h a day. The rest of the day was filled with easier tasks. There was a forklift on site to move heavy things, concrete was pumped. There was nothing backbreaking. I worked at union sites and private projects. The days were long but it wasn't that hard.
What's your experience? What types of projects did you work on? What did you find the most difficult?
I don't do the work personally, just witness it very often, so I'm only going by second hand info.
I'm sure it varies wildly by the type of job.
Well, I will keep my first hand opinion about it then.
