For those who don't know, ive haven't been working for nearly 6 months, and just found a job in demolition, although very dangerous (asbestos, falling buildings, potential death etc) it pays handsomely.
It sucks because it's hard going from that transition from chillin, surfing, coffee, drinking to now working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week! But it's given me a few options, scrap the b16 and go K20, or keep the b16 and get a fresh coat of paint (canary yellow, spoon replica maybe or even a new shell?) Possibilities are endless!
Anyone work in the similar industry? Laboring, construction?

I work for a recycling/demo outfit. I know about the risk (safety dept.) One thing I learned is that the job as as dangerous as you make it. But I'm in California, the home of rules and regulations for EVERYTHING.

BIG congrats on the new job man, but it does suck going from doing whatever to hard labor and long hours.
to answer your question: Ive done construction, masonry, and landscaping. So im no stranger to hard ass work. I liked masonry the most prolly cause the owner/operator i worked for was like family, it got me ripped like a mofo, and payed for the first honda i had, which opened the door to my obsession.

Wow, we all have similar jobs!
Lately i've been working 10 hour shifts monday-saturday. I love being able to eat mcdonalds and I pretty much work it off by the afternoon, keeping me slim. Although today I was on the phone and with out notice a crane with a 2 tonne metal bucket nearly hit me!
