Reply:That makes sense.... What type of work will you be doing it the little fab shop?

Reply:Glad I'm not anywhere that its that hot but I would trade the constant high humidity of %75 - %95 I deal with every day.  You sweat so bad that after a while you end up with heavy heat rash over large area's of your body or more concentrated area's that end up bleeding.  I have a bullard air vest but it seems to have been made for someone thats 4 foot tall with a 50 inch waist so I'm going to make my own vest that fits better and pushes air up the back side of the shield / hard hat and down towards the groin and into the armpits.Welding Supervisor Department of Corrections.

Reply:One of those portable picnic table canopies would help with blocking the sun, you can get them from wally world for around $60 or so and their around 10'x 10' or so.  The portable carports  go up to 16' x 20' and sell for around $200 or so but you can set them up and break them down in a few minutes.Welding Supervisor Department of Corrections.

Reply:Originally Posted by AndyAI've been building a barn on the weekends.  Start at 6am, have to quit around 11am.  Then find a hole to hide in for a few hours.Seems like the heat isn't so bad after about 5pm.  Yeah, the temperature is probably still high, but the sun isn't beating down on you as much.I drink maybe 2 gallons of water a day.  At the end of the day my shirt has white streaks from the salt.  Seems like it's really bad this year.
Reply:Those have pretty decent floor space. I am working on one of them right now. I have the whole drivers side stripped of the aluminum outer skin. No fasteners at all, only 3M tape. It is about as easy as skinning the hide off of a whale though. Attached ImagesCity of L.A. Structural; Manual & Semi-Automatic;"Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined.
