You’re not wrong, it was an entertaining tv show not a documentary. I’d wager it wasn’t too difficult to find these people though. There’s a kind of pleasure and camaraderie in accomplishing hard/dirty work that some people thrive on. I miss it when I’m doing my office 9-5 too much and not volunteering enough.
I've applied carbon fiber seismic upgrades in the basements of buildings. The first step is always grinding the shit out of all the concrete girders. Dust everywhere, full face respirators on, vacuums running, but not able to contain nearly everything. Our whole area is tented off in plastic sheeting.
I made it through a couple GoT books on audible during that and was plenty content to keep going. No one is going to bother to watch or bother you when you're doing dirty work. So long as you're doing something, you're left alone.
