Subject: RE: BS: How do you beat the heat ?
It's a SERIOUS problem for me. As my mudcat name implies, I really am a deck builder. And trying to spend hours on my hands and knees screwing off a deck is like working on frypan. The sun and heat just bounce off the deck onto me. The best I can do, when I have to work in the heat, is drink gallons of water, slather on the sunblock (by the way, I have some strong opinions about this if you want to pm me), and start as early as possible. Here in the Puget Sound area, it's been in the high 90's by noon, which means I get burned off the decks by then. The best I can hope for is a project   w a y    out in the country with understanding customers that will let me start work at dawn. Keep kool! Bob
