I hope Tony keeps making documentaries, I learn so much from him, I don't with others, he is most likely the best documentarian
-
Mad respect for Tony carrying that water barrel!
-
I flinch just watching Tony doing these jobs. He deserves every penny or pound he's paid.
-
Tony is a top man, what a dude!
-
Damn that asphalt pounding is giving me flashbacks. I've had to do that before on highway survey work. But only because our tamping machine broke and we didnt have time to get it fixed.. It was only for a day on small boreholes. I cant imagine doing it day in and day out to build an entire road.

Thank you for uploading this
-

-
We must be lost twins-these shows are all I watch! Thanks again for these fantastic uploads!!

The segment on the grain Toni was talking about the grain and how they moved it with a hose. The person said if you didn't pay attention, you could be sucked under the grain like and undertow had got you. My husband's uncle was driving a bulldozer in a rock chamber of the phosphate plant he worked in when someone opened a valve to release some rock , they did not let my hubby's uncle know. He was caught in the falling rock and was crushed to death by the rock coming in on top of the bulldozer.

The water carriers would have been much stronger & tougher then Tony. But it is good to experience earlier people's hardships to appreciate how good we have it now.

I laughed when she pulled up in the car next to him. And then he got fined for cussing. I probably would have had to declare bankruptcy just for cussing the first day.

Great upload!! I've actually done pugging in Uganda, when we were building a school. 🧱
-
Tony, your a brave soul.. :)
-
Done the asphalt laying too, only for a few weeks, at least I had decent boots, and we only had to use the tamping rod at the edges and corners where the road roller couldn't reach. I didn't get a lot of pay for doing that job either.

i love sir tony robinson
-
Seriously though , thank god for running water.
-
What ever you are paid it ain't enough and if you are not paid your a hell of a man. Great video thanks.
-
much respect to tony. his biggest fear has to be heights. he can work in shit/urine and he wont show fear like he does when he has to go above the side walk level. way to go dude. you rock sir.

What people forget that in early times, money went much further before the debt system ran crazy, in 20th century & inflation has devalued the money.
-
Tony, you've got bigger coconuts than me my friend. I wouldn't have gotten back on that ladder for all the money in the world.
