Anybody else having this problem?

I am in the west central area of NC where the temps have been mostly in the mid 90's with high humidity lately. The problem I have is after wotking in the heat all day (5:30am to approx. 3:00pm) With no A/C in the garage I just can not get motivated to work on my truck when I get home. Seems like alot of you guys are in the southwest where I am sure its hotter.. So do any of you guys have the same problem as I do? But I have gotten this far.....

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

I'm a IT network administrator so behind a desk all day so when I get home and on weekends I am stoked to get outside. Here in east TX it stays humid but so far this summer hasn't been to bad a few 115 degree days as opposed to last summer where it stayed there all summer. Once I get going I don't like to stop.

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

I hear you, same here even in Ontario Canada. Been a hot dry summer, saying hottest July on record since the 1930's. My truck not finished yet but road worthy, so on days like today we jump in and head to cruise night at beach. Sauble Beach on the east shore of Lake Huron home of some amasing sunsets.

10-4 on the BAF. Open the back door and force the air through. Just don't put something too light on the floor.

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

i work in industrial maintenance in oklahoma with no ac. its a floor tile plant and i work the press department with huge dryers so my area of work is anywhere from 90 to 130 degrees in the summer time so im pretty used to the heat... but i still have a hard time wanting to get out in the heat when im not at work!!!! lol so ya i feel ur pain.. but i do have ac in my tiny shop though =)

btw looks like ur making good progress though so just try to keep at it and picture the outcome!!! i try not to think bout all the work i still have to do. instead i just dream bout how it will be when im done!!!

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

It does seem like it's all over the country. I'm just outside of Atlanta and work in my shop all day with no AC, if I go inside after finishing my day I'm finished but if I stay outside and work on the truck for a bit it's not too bad since I'm already used to it. I changed cloths twice last Sat. while working on it.

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

Yeah, I have no interest in working on my truck in this heat. My plan with my truck is to work on it in the fall, through the winter and spring and finish whatever I am working on so I can drive it in the summer.

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

I own a document shredding truck and stand right next to 120 degree back flow from the fans and engine all day. Trust me when I tell you that in Arizona when it is 105-110, that other 10 to 15 degrees is a killer.

Best way to lose 6 to 10 pounds in a day is come work with me in the summertime.

Okay, need to lose 60 lbs. Let's say I lose at the 6 lbs. per day rate, I'll come over and work 10 days but I better lose that or I'll be

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

Here a week ago my 97 silverado needed an exhaust , so i drove the 63 for a week ,and alot of that time it was 95 or so ... Reminded me of when I had a 63 as a DD... my shop at work will get in the mid 80"s but it is humid because of the parts washer , normally I just use a few old squirell cage fans from old furnaces.. makes it bearable...

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

I wear long sleeves so the sweat helps keep body cool. After putting my air ride on last week I looked light I just got out of the pool, smelled pretty bad also. Humidity is 40 to 60% here also.

Re: Anybody else having this problem?

I'm with you on the heat being draining. I'm thinking about changing from working 8am to 5pm, to working 12am to 9am. That way I'd be sleeping during the worst of the heat, and working when its in the mid 70's at night.

Either that, or start doing the wetsanding with a sprinkler and a bathing suit to cool off.
