[QUOTE="PlumberEd, post: 2612258, member: 118497"] I think maybe you are correct about toughness being an acquired skill. When I started helping my Father in his plumbing business we had no mechanical excavation equipment. If you know anything about plumbing you know that a lot of pipes that need repairing are covered by dirt. So by the time I was 14 or 15 I was quite proficient with a shovel and a digging bar. Once you learn how to use them you can literally move a ton of dirt in a surprisingly small amount of time. Fast forward 40 years, now we have multiple backhoes and excavators. When I hear my younger guys complaining about digging I think to myself that they really don’t know how easy they have it. [/QUOTE]
