Nice but a bit tame for me. And BTW, those gals were born in 1951 and 1952. Must be an old performance

Yeah, I must have been in my early teens when this came out.

Long as you can still get around on your own and are healthy is what really matters.

You're no spring chick for sure! 🙂

My brother-in-law older than me was laying tiles of all kinds and also did some stuff with stone, and marble? Anyway he use to do all the ships here in the dock yard. He was one of the few people who could do the cuts at the time. In todays world they are called technicians, not floorlaying as it was called back in the day. He actually worked past his retirement age, as a Supervisor. After a few years though, he told me the stair climbing became too much for him. As you know no working elevators when tile setting is being done.

Now I know a woman who had a knee replacement and had to stay off it for sometime and used a cane for awhile, but no infection and all went well with her. She still has the other one to do. The procedure has improved over the years, and they have learned from their mistakes.

Yes, I know it wasn't much fun back in those times and if you worked in an apartment building you may have carry cement and tiles up 18 or 20 floors. I know my brother-in-law who was older than I was telling me about it, when I asked him if he worked out. He said try it and see if you would consider it a work out. I said: I don't have to I can just imagine carrying a bag to mix cement, or a box of tiles, then taking them up 18 or 20 floors and two sets of stairs per floor.

The ships my Brother-In-Law worked in were in dry dock and already completed, so no danger that I can think of that could happen.

the ships in smiths dock were refits we had a crane to lift all our materials onboard but mixing the lightweight screed was done in an old tin bath then transported to different decks in buckets it was back breaking but was a reall work out.
