IS anyone getting anything done in this heat?

I can only work in the garage on a cloudy day, after about 11 am the sun is directly in my garage. should of bought a lot across the street instead :/

 

Pics of the dead rattle snake or it didn't happen.... J/K

 

HRP is in Upstate SC

It is HOTTER than that here in the Capitol City
The tourist board even promotes the city's reputation for heat by saying

" Columbia SC ... Famously HOT "

The heat has been whipping my hiney. Heat index has been 115 degrees.
At night it is still over 80 degrees at midnight.
At age 64 with a past history of heart attacks ...

I am going to have to break down and buy A/C for the shop.



Mitsubishi MUY GE 15 NA
About $1500 ..
a friend has one and his works GREAT

 

Wow, workin in my machine shed, re-building a poncho motor. Just drippin wet. I have a big fan that moves a lot of air but ,it is just crazy warm here. If we don't get some rain the corn -bean crop is gonna be hurt'in. You guys better stock up on veggies now.Indy

 

105 in my new barn today no work and just a few "Cold one's".

 

I installed central air in the shop late last summer. We upgraded the unit in the house, and I kept the old one. Really enjoying it this year with the extreme heat. Cleaned and painted some small parts today for the '34 pickup.

 

103 IN the shed with a fan moving hot air around. sweat just thinking about going out there . Got a buddy raggin me to get my junk sliding again. think he is gunna have to wait some more .

 

Yes, I'm getting lots done. I'm learning to wake-surf behind the Chris Craft on my new board, and I'm on my 2nd Vodka, lemon and tonic. It's 99 in the shade here at the lake, but I'm Cool McCool...

Definatly not here, its -6 degrees c at the moment, id gladly do you a trade for some of your warmth

 

Yeah, I hear ya. I live on the peninsula and it's very pleasant here today. I'm not planning on moving any time soon either.
I've been working on the passenger side floor pan of the Plymouth.
The grommet between the heat control valve ( 1st picture) and the hose connector in the firewall failed and filled up the floor pan with coolant. I bypassed the valve until I find a replacement. Definitely going to get rid of the foam carpet padding and replace it with some jute padding. Carpet cleaned up OK.
I accidently erased the pictures of "Coolant Lake" and the stripping process but here's how it looks now. That damn factory sound deadner is almost impossible to remove. After removing the rust with vinegar solution and mechanically stripped the metal I brushed on 2 coats of Rustoleum "rusty metal primer" and used a rattle can of Rustoleum almond which is kind of close to the body color. It's going to be covered up anyway so a perfect match wasn't necessary in my opinion.

 

our big parade just concluded, now it's BBQ time...
Sloppyseconds and his girlfriend stopped for a visit..
very nice day...

No thanks, I will take this heat. That photo looks horrible to me....

 

Wuss!

Man up!

 

I'm 20 Miles north of Brainerd Minnesota, and it was 96 here today! I bought a 30X40 unit in a storage complex up here. The 30X40's are all insulated and they expect you to buy an $800 heater for $2500. I know I'm a "candy ass", but since I spend my winters in Florida, I opted out on the heater. I was at my shop tday, and it was 70 degees inside. I gotta recommend insulated walls. I spend most of my time in the shop. Somebody's got to do it!
