I spent an afternoon working my butt off helping a guy saw up our trees

My uncle owned a sawmill and I was another source of cheap labor for
him. It was usually winter work, cold and wet to fell the trees and skid
them to a common point. Then he would bring in the mill where I mostly
worked moving the lumber to the truck. I also rolled logs onto the
carriage and turned logs on the carriage. Hard brute labor but I was young
at the time.
