What's the hardest physical labor you've ever done?

Last summer we had this small cottage that we havent used in a decade on some property my family owns. A part of the cottage fell down and the municipality told us to get rid of the cottage within one week or pay a big fine.

So me and my cousin took down the cottage by hand (with crowbars and sledgehammers, etc) and transferred all the materials to a container to be taken to the dump.

-It was pouring rain

-40 degrees celcius

-humid

-mud everywhere

- mosqitoes everywhere

- deer poop everywhere

-mold everywhere

- did that for about 3 days in a row

So yea, whats the worst physical labour youve ever done?

Nada.

I've had a few close calls and plenty of bruises and busted shins.

I'm not going to lie physical labor, and I don't mesh well which is why I'm in the business of fixing computers.

Anyways I do lots of physical things that I don't get paid for. I've helped my parents move most of their house last year. I moved into an apartment not that long ago which involved taking couches and chairs up stairs. Also I'm the go to guy when heavy things need to move due to a somewhat natural strength.

any ears bitten off? BossPerson

No. You pull a foal down by the neck, they can't lean back to bite you.

It also keeps you away from those damn rear legs.

I helped my Dad put an addition onto our house when I was 16. Lots of lifting and climbing on to the roof.

I don't know tell us why you risk everything for absolutely nothing. I mean, you aren't that dumb are you?

I take it back. The hardest physical labor I've ever done was rolling champions fat mom off the bed so I can get to the computer to tell him that he probably likes to take weiners in every possible orifice 24 hours a day.

Oh, there we go...now the thread is complete.

For a week before I left North Dakota to come back to New York I did some temp work with some of the fracking crews. Negative 30 degrees the entire week. My hands got cracked from the cold. Worst food imaginable. I had to sleep on a cot not even three feet away from the horrid-smelling men. I did make a thousand bucks, though, and that got me home to New York.

can't remember , gardening might be it though , its not necessarily hard work , but its the tedious and boredom of it (at least for me)

Packing...i hate it with a burning passion.

I put way too much toothpaste on my toothbrush once. Needed a nap after that.Allicrombie

Brushed for teeth for 30 minutes, eh? That can tire anybody out.

Lets see...

I've run up a mountain in NM, with ~4000ft of climbing over ~9 miles... I've done a 17 mile trail run up mountains in CO, to 13,114 ft, and down the other side, totaling say, 6000ft of climbing... I've spent two weeks trekking the French and Swiss Alps, averaging roughly 15 miles per day...

Yeah. Whatever was actually the hardest physical labor, it was done for fun.

I spent my summers landscaping. 12 to 16 hour days for 6 or 7 days a week (Sundays were a crapshoot). The first two I spent as the *****, shoveling rock and laying stone.mattbbpl

I spent a good 1 hour or so shoveling snow off the drive way.
