I worked in the construction industry when I was on the river. we had the choice to start early like 5am and quit before 3pm when the heat was bad. In TX, we started at 6:30AM & knocked off around 2:30 PM. Working in the morning was a snap. Those few hours after lunch were ....just ..brutal . We worked in 100 degree+ almost every day of the Summer. I worked in residential contruction. Pounding nails & sawing wood. This was back in the 70's.

To you folks that mentioned roofing in the heat. Weren't you in the best shape of your life when you were roofing? Hard and hot, but I was in good shape back in the 70's when me and Moe Mance worked together. Didn't have much trouble getting to sleep at night either.

I thought you wasn't suppose to roof when it was that hot because of the damage done to the hot shingles being stepped on.
