DAVEH:  Yeah.....I do, Bill.  That's exactly why I got out of the trade nearly 4 decades ago!   I very much enjoy laying brick, but I don't like how it makes me feel. My back hurts all the time, and in the winter my hands are always cold. I would not be doing it if I didn't need to be doing something to make a little money during this time that we're droughted out in our other ventures. When I quit laying brick back in '85, I didn't expect or desire to ever do it again -- but then I always missed it when I wasn't. I am very thankful now to have a trade-skill to fall back on. I've been teaching my oldest son the trade (he's been carrying hod since he was twelve) and it's not so that he can be a bricklayer when he grows up, but so that he will always have that skill, should he need it to fill in some blanks along the way. I know you know this stuff and understand why I'm saying it.    God bless you,   Bill
