Carpeting is hard work, but not Landscaping or drywall? You gotta be a barbarian to hang ceilings in commercial buildings. Those fuckers get heavy after a few hours. Landscaping can get brutal too with all the bending over.
Carpeting was the hardest for many reasons, I mean they were all physical labour and by default hard, but the carpeting required us to use a forklift with a giant spike in the front to grab like a 2000 pound giant roll of carpet from the warehouse, bring it out to the parking lot, unroll it (it covered the entire lot), measure the length we need, cut it (oh god so fucking brutal), roll it up, lift it into the truck (weighed about 3-5 hundred pounds depending on the size of the roll). Then we'd have to bring it to the job site, which were usually apartments, so we had to fucking CARRY the heavy as fuck roll up the stairs... it was awful. That was just getting the carpet there. Before you can even do that you need to tear out all the old carpet, which is grueling in a hot summer. 5 guys in a narrow hallway ripping up carpet that's glued to the floor with 20 year old industrial adhesive, it literally looked like we jumped into a pool with our clothes on, that's how sweaty it got. Then when it's all torn out, you need to mix the enviroglue (fucking annoying as shit white paste to glue the carpet down, shit gets in your leg hairs and on your hands you need to use gas or varsol to wash it off) and then start spreading it across the floor... then you need to lay down the sections..
Plus on top of it all, our boss was a fucking asshole and an alcoholic. One day my dad and I literally took turns stopping one another from beating the shit out of him. Months later my dad ended up punching him out for trying to screw us out of our paycheque. Fat drunken fuck. But yeah, not a fun job at all. Only good part was the instant that fat fuck was drunk and left, we'd just sit down and take our time and smoke weed... we'd milk like 12 hour days out of it.
Sure landscape you hurt your back and fucks up your hands if you don't wear gloves but after a while you get used to it, I mean digging is an easy job when you're blasting music, it was my favourite thing to do.
