I thought about quitting at noon, but kept on till 5:30. I was working in the shadows today.. I got on the roof and burnt.. LITERALLY burnt the palm of my hand. I have came to the conclusion that roofers are the toughest men alive. I worked out in the sun for ~10 min then decided to go back to the shade. I had a glass full of ice water right before I was working in the sun, I stopped to move stuff and got the glass.. the water was then warm :eek: ALL the ice (full glass) was gone

Had to quit at 1:30. Felt like I had put in 16 hours.

I'd take this over the heat. Just makes it tough for exterior installs. I wish it would make up its mine, rain or don't rain. You can be cloudy all you want.
