A couple years ago I was listening to Ken tell stories about his early stone
masonry work and he used the expression "bumpin' stones." Since then I have
thought of a few more of these nifty little phrases to describe the various
trades. Can you thing of any others?

bumpin' stones
chopin' wood
slingin' mud
clinkin' bricks
knockin' tin
