I've been working in construction for three weeks, and I really enjoy my job. We are building a garage, and there are basically three things I do: play with power tools, use a hammer, and lift heavy objects. My bosses are some of the most pleasant people I've ever met, and work is over by 4, so I'm home before 5. The only downside is the that I got a bit sunburnt early on, but a hat and some sunblock has fixed that. It's not a job I want to do forever, but it's a nice break from school.
I took some photos while on the job. Here is me and my boss working on the roof. That's a pneumatic nailgun I'm holding.
Here's one of me on the roof before we added shingles.
Several other photos are here:
