> How does doing plumbing/electricioning wear your body out?

Electrictions can work over their head with screw drivers for weeks at an end. There are plenty of bad working positions for their body.



I got sick of that myself and got an electric screwdriver, which helped a lot. Keep in mind that I did all the low voltage wiring in the house myself, it was a couple thousand feet of wire. A lot of it was overhead work - boring holes in the joists, etc. I wouldn't say it was pleasant, and lifting that heavy 90 degree Milwaukee drill was a chore.

But I did figure the electricians knew what they were doing, so I watched them. I bought the same tools they used, and went to work.
