What the work is actually like (read this carefully):

• You'll be outside all day in cold, rain, and sometimes snow
• 10+ hour days, 6 days a week during peak season
• You'll be on ladders and roofs daily - if you're not comfortable at heights, this isn't the right fit
• The work is physical - climbing, carrying equipment, repetitive overhead work
• The season is compressed: ~3-4 months of intense work (potential for extended season)

If that sounds like your kind of thing, keep reading.
