[QUOTE="frederick, post: 8147823, member: 11063"] Today we finished putting up a concrete slurry store. For the last month I have had a glimpse of the life of a construction worker. So after bank holiday Monday they got into the car at 3 am Tuesday morning and arrived on site at 9. They then worked from 7.30 till 5 every day until following Monday. All staying in a b and b. They then left for London and hoped to get home Friday night 11 days later. Concrete pump man ok not hardwork but he was in his lorry 4 am on site by 7.30. didn't leave site until 7 would have got back to base after 10. Following day he had to spend in an office for his 3rd hs2 training session. Crane man left Bristol Monday morning. Three days in cornwall back to me on Thursday. They are probably paid reasonably. Their day is quite often longer than mine and they won't be home for a fortnight. I have two cooked meals everyday at home. Got to say I was mighty impressed with all of them but wouldn't want their job for anything. The plus has to be these people are out there we just somehow need to show that farming could actually offer so much more in a way of life than they currently get. But then who is going to build my next project. [/QUOTE]
