I work with a guy at the FD who did auto body work as a side gig - he's good at it too. Then his buddy with a big construction outfit got him gig as a union concrete laborer for the Millenuium Park construction gig in Chicago. Great money, but yeesh!
He'd come in for shift after working 2 long days back to back and look like death warmed over- and not by much.
He's getting his shoulders worked on now, so he's on medical leave. 40 was a little old to shovel concrete for a living IMHO...
