How hot was it?

I use to weed eat a cemetery in the summer during HS, things are a lot better now

I beg to differ - humidity plays a huge part in how miserable the heat is once they are combined!

Lifetime resident of Alabama,spent one summer in Arizona,I'll take Az heat over Al heat and humidity anytime .the day we went to Lake Havasu it was 114 degrees and that was better than 97 degrees and 95% humidity not to mention the wind rarely blows in Montgomery,Al.when I worked at the Ford dealership,we took the temp probe from the SBDS machine and measured the temp inside the shop,it said 112 degrees! Glad I work inside now!

I'll see your roofin' and raise you stick welding..

Try drawing an Arc 7-10 times brighter than the sun for 16 -18 hrs sometime..

Sun burn in "T" minus 3-2-1 hhummmmmpopmmmmpopmmm... Any exposed skin is burned in seconds..

I hear you there. My worst day was last summer. It was 114, we started at 2 am, and didn't get done til 7 that night. Not my longest day, but def my longest day in the heat. I dont put on hot tar anymore, but if i did, 500 degree tar and the heat would be a killer. Kinda ironic, I caome from MN, and my worst two days, it was -50 both days, we worked down to -30 no questions asked. It's just an extreme. Hot, cold, whatever. The biggest prob in my slice of the trade is the reflectivity that my new roofing has. The sunburn you can't cover up from is coming back up at you from the roof surface.

Lightweight! I medicate with Sauza's finest...

I gotta get up at 4, bud. Jack is not a early riser, so I only party with him on the weekends.

What sort of sunscreen do you use?

SPF cotton. HAHA. And yes, it took me all day long to come up with that one.

Unless you've lived/worked outside in the South you don't know the definition of humidity.




BTW: The new post icons are , just sayin'

I was in some of the other trades for a while as well.. Out of everything in construction I have ever done,
laying a roof was what I hated doing the most,, too damn hot.. Being a big guy made it worse..
