That’s impressive!

“Construction for 40 years?! That’s impressive!”

Thanks, but it’s not that great a feat. Do the same stuff month in, month out, year in and year out, and your body just acclimates to it.

My granddad didn’t put away his tool belt until he was over 80. I once caught him nailing up the last sheet of a new drywall ceiling when he was 81. He was the only person on the job site that day.

Now that was impressive.
