Workshop out of bounds from the heat.

[JustBen]

My workshop is currently out of action due to the heat.

It's 34c in there and I have no way of cooling it properly.

I was in there for 2 minutes earlier and it was poring off me. I was only stood still.

Fans blow dust around and working in my pants would probably not be very health or safe.

It's a good job it's not my main income.

Just thought I'd share.

Not sure I'd fancy working in my pants, one slip with a hammer and the family jewels become trinkets.

Its all good fun, try working in a shipping container in this weather.

I just make sure both air re-circulators are running and also a fan. Temperature quite a reasonable 24 degrees. Oh yes...quite happy to work naked ! No loose cuffs to catch on the machines 8)

Where would the wallet and watch go.

Try working outside 8 to 4 no shade building a 6 foot by 12 foot pitched roof dog kennel and run plus a 18 foot lean to log and garden tool store for a customer. I just soak an old tee shirt under an outside tap and wear it over my head and down my shoulders and repeat once dried out probably look stupid but hey ho, better than burning up.

Wet T-shirt You were lucky to have a tap and a t-shirt! We used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, 'alf the floor was missing, and we were all 'uddled together in one corner for fear of falling.

Ugh! Don't you hate it when rich people show off.

That's a really good Malapropism!

I would love to take credit for it but it was my iPad that decided to change my original word. It does that a lot. Thinks it knows best.


A lot of the other comments remind me of stories my grandfather used to tell about walking to school in winter.

Every time he told it, the snow would be deeper, the distance longer and he would be younger. The shorts always remained the same though.

I think my lack of heat tolerance comes from the Inuit blood that runs in my veins.

"Shoe box, middle of t'motorway"? Pure luxury! And so on and so forth ...............

"But do the young kids of today believe yer? Do they 'eck as like" ........................ (coming home, coming home .............. la la lalala).

I have been in a metal tube with 300 others but I did not want to get out at 30Kft.
Water supply exhausted, short on fuel, so a/c turned off, emergency landing at Prestwick.

Or two hours on runway in Denver, immigration hall was full up and they would not let us off.

My workshop is a barn with a tin roof - which makes it freezing cold in winter (can be sorted with heaters) and like an oven from about 11am - 7pm at the moment - it's ok if there is a breeze of any kind as doors can be left open to provide a through draft, but when there is no breeze (like at the moment) I can only work in there very early in the morning and late in the evening - siesta all afternoon
