There is never a situation where it can't be done with the right hand tool - even though it may be a lot more work.

Currently, it's 100°F with the humidity factor making it feel like 120°F. Fortunately, my air conditioner is working fine and I have no need to go out anywhere today. I may however, decide to torture some pizza delivery person by placing an order. <G> |

Over the weekend I thought I bought way more Gatorade than I would need for the week, I was wrong. I don't know how you guys down south do this all summer long.

We don't- it's not like that all the time down here. In fact, it's been hotter up there the past few weeks than it's been down here. We also don't get the humidity as bad as places like NJ/NY get it- at least not here in Atlanta- and it gets dry and breezy most nights. I'll take Atlanta summers over the NJ summers I grew up with any day. |

Having had to endure several business trips to Atlanta in August, I think I'd rather be in Albuquerque or Santa Fe at the same temperature for the lack of humidity there. Seems that when it gets that hot and humid, I have a difficult time holding onto the things I need to hold onto, and everything else sticks to me.  |

Agreed- I lived in Las Vegas for 5 years, and I'll take 115 and 0% humidity out there over what we get here any day. But it's still not as bad here as what I grew up in. |

I saw on the news that some portions of Iowa had 82+% dew points!! That is unreal, we had a few days with dew pts in the mid 70's. for me anything over 70 is enough! |

Crazy thing is that New Mexico actually gets some humidity this time of year. We start complaining when the humidity rises above 10 per cent. This morning its 40 per cent. Should come down to a reasonable level before the day gets too hot though... |

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

Neither do I. It's brutal, all you can do is drink lots of fluids. I work in a lot of new construction, so I have to rely on redneck air-conditioning. Get to the jobsite early and open every window amd door in the house. Stay hydrated. I neglected to to do this a few months ago, and started to shiver in 90 degree weather. Spoke woth my doctor and he told me to drink about 120 ounces of fluid within the next couple of hours...then I got a 103 fever. Stay safe guys. Jon |

Bring a fan with you. The electric kind, not the groupie. |

Ken,
The problem with a fan is that you spend more time moving the darn thing around than you do working. Especially if you're bouncing from room to room installing cabs...

At the beginning of the week here in the Twin Cities, MN we had a DP (Dew Point) of 81 degrees heat index was 130. I like heat and grew up in 90 degrees and 90% humidity....but dang it pushed me. On the 15th of the month (last Friday) we had 6.5" of rain coming down at 1.8" an hour. The lightning was frequent and close. I have been working with homeowners in my neighborhood to fix things. One house had 1.5 tons of soil washed away.
When I got to their house... (I'm more into remodeling but)...they are good clients and needed help. The heat index was almost 130. I was able to extend their downspout drainage from the first backyard terrace over the second terrace to the third terrace and replace the soil. I like heat...but WOW even with water on site... it was tough.
I sent them my bill.... They doubled it with a tip...
The heat must have gone to their head.
Cheers,
Steve

I've been watching a couple different crews doing complete tear offs on roofs this week and I just am amazed at the bosses that will subject their employees to such brutal conditions. 100 plus and heat index 125 to 130 Working in the morning till 10 or 11 then coming back later in evening might make more sense, but all through the day just to get it done is just unbelievably stupid. I surely hope that any of you festooler employers are smart enough to take care of your employees.
