Crimsonmistymemory Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Its been hot as blazes here in Myrtle Beach SC for at least a week now. Some days the heat index has been over 105. Humid as all get out. Walk outside and sweat without making a move even at night. This kind of heat seems a bit early to me. Whew...Man, you ain't lying. I was in Shallotte on Thursday and I almost got sick because it wa so hot unloading in the trailer.I just cut the grass a little while ago. Good grief the humidity is thick. How the hell I worked in that sh*t for 7 years is beyond me at this point. 130 degree attics every day and step outside in 95 degree heat to "cool off". Crazy sh*t. I was good at it too but never again...Too funny! That is exactly how I felt when I worked in the ship yards and would crawl outta the holes into 95° + Temps delirious and it feeling like someone turned on the AC and my boss sayin "yup that'll take years off your life". My thoughts were "there has to be a better way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts were "there has to be a better way"It was crazy. 130 degree plus attics for 4 or 5 months straight. Sweating through your uniform over and over all day and night many times. Some days you would just pray for a crawl space unit. Dirty under the house but not stifling heat at least. As I said I am almost 55 and will never do that again for a living.

I moved my air handler from the attic to a closet in the central part of the house, proclaiming I will NEVER work up there again! My better 1/2 was pissed because she lost one of her favorite closets (now that didn't sound right) so all I could tell her is I'll put the airhandler back up there but you go up there & maintain it! I won that battle but she is still winning the war lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only attics and crawl spaces with units tangled in truss webs and sitting in dirt (under the house). Don't know how I did it so long to be honest and we worked overtime like crazy too. It was real good money for this area but it took alot out of me for sure... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I spent the longest day of the year in Northern Norway, way up north from the Arctic circle. The sun was up all night. I´ve been to Norway a couple of times for work, usually in late May/early June, and once in late November...during summer it´s quite nice, and the sun doesn´t set until 11:30 pm, and by 04 am it´s already up. The one time I went in November, the weather was absolutely miserable! Cold and rain all around...I remember one time I left the bus in the city and bought a calzone at a 7-11 to eat at the hotel, and when I got to my room, it was completely frozen!

I have something that belongs to Norway that I'd like to return. :) Does anyone live up there? If not, we can make my husband a pioneer of sorts.
