I worked a small job in Denver Colorado a decade back. I was a helper rookie. The coolest thing to watch was the Italian family doing the concrete pour and finish work. A phone call made and then Grandpa showed up in a cab. Grandpa was at least 90. He donned his rubber waders and I witnessed the finest finish and screed work I have ever seen. His grandsons (business owners) who where in there 30s said he started in Italy when he was 10 years of age. Looked like an ice rink when he finished. Family helped him back into a cab and off he went. Appreciate your work also.👍
