Man, you guys are real troopers doing heavy stuff like that at 70. I am a little beat up at 50 now and knee and ankle started to hurt a bit and that's due to crashes during bike racing over the years. I did lots of finish carpentry and wood working. Very light duty stuff compared to framing and concrete work. I learned long ago, in my early 20s, that its so much cheaper to hire out the heavy lifting instead of screwing up my body. I hope to still walk on rafters at 70 (for fun and not work). My roofer's father is 82 and still goes out to the job sites hanging around up on the roof. Oh yeah, he retired long ago.
