Be positive, it'll feel like someone else is doing you every evening, while your Mum's making your tea.

How long have you been doing the job Mike?
Although I'm not playing in bands now I can still crank out a decent solo and I'm 52.

thats whats causing your sore hands rather than working.

when i said band thats what we called it but it was more of a small orchestra (not quite enough different instruments for it to be called an orchestra)

i've been on the tools for 40+ years and i still can't play anything. the only tune i can play is with my arse.

be good at what you doing, learn inspection and testing, have a mate and/or labourers doing hard work.

Dear oh dear...at 19,i was at college,and working for myself,and others.One of said tasks,was muck shift and demolition,all done by hand,loading TK's tippers and flats,with allsorts from telegraph poles to Anderson shelters.This i had done since i was 13. At ANY time,had i made the catastrophic error of mentioning a "dead-hand",the gloves would have been fitted,and i would have had a matching head....the lad that now assists me is 20,and a cracker,but i was explaining to him that at his age,my grandfather,was in Canada,finishing his pilot training to fly a Wellington....God love em'...but a slap round the head is a lot easier than wheeling out scripts like this...
