I feel your pain Darren, I have just finished repairs on my mothers house after termites had eaten some floor bearers and joists causing the end of the house to hang in space. I was fortunate enough to have a retired builder up the road to give me a helping hand, well I think I gave him a helping hand. At 76 years old he worked like a trojan. By the end of each day I just collapsed into a hot shower in extreme pain and suffered the pain for a week or so.
It's a matter of what muscles are used and which ones you normally use.
In my case 12 to 14 hours a day in an office doesn't prepare me well for manual labour of any kind.

Now that you';ve started don't stop. Get it finished Mate.
