My conclusion: I don't have a clue how anyone would be able to do it for more than one a few days without dying. I know very few people do, but some must.
 
what did you do?
 
It's not so bad if you are young and reasonably fit.
I used to love really hard graft. Didn't matter how tired I was - by the next morning I had recovered. Now an 8 hour day kills me unless it is easy wee jobs
I am just home at after 7 tonight, completely knackered. I can no longer work hard for a few days in a row.

....and some plumbers.
 
I used to do that from September through to April. That's the reason I don't want to go back on the books.
 
occasionally, the blue and orange machine launches at night, does it bit and you end up with a long tow home finishing about 8am, just in time to go to work. In order to keep a customer base I normally carry out all the days appointments, go home cancel the next days work and sleep....................... thank gaud it only happens once a year or so :)
 
Up north a 12 hour day is a mornings work, its 9:30pm now and I've just got in.... £5 a day and thrashed to sleep.
