work in this heat

Re: work in this heat

116 in a building polishing concrete. two days of that and back out to a pool deck restoration at a relatively cool 100. I eat a little sea salt and drink a ton of everything cold and wet.
Taking breaks every 2 hours or so is great if you can swing it. Just running water over your wrists and neck is a good way to cool off fast.

Cant wait for breath of fall weather....

I pulled a lotta wire back in the day when I lived in Houston, 100 and somethin deg's plus 100% humidityjust sucked a$$. especially when you're in an attic pulling home runs, jsut many of the privlages of being short. today im doing some calking on a duplex for my landlord but thankfully it's only going to be in the 70's. yeah, it's amazing how much water/poweraid you can chug down in an afternoon.
