Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Why do people live in the uninhabitable north? I was sweating my butt off just going for my evening walk.

Yeah I’ve been in your part of the country in the summer. No thanks. The best time of the year- ruined.

Not ruined you just gotta get neked!

 

[Dantheman1540]

I sweat my butt just thinking about going on an evening walk. And I live in Iowa.

Then it means your getting a workout!

I couldn’t possibly get naked enough for that shit lol. No way could I get used to it. At least when it’s cold you can add layers. But when it’s too hot and humid you’re f**ked. You can’t get any more naked lmao. I don’t like either extreme. I’m good where I am.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I can always put more clothes on when it’s cold, but I’ll get arrested if I take too many clothes off when I am hot.

This. It’s much better to be able to add clothes. There’s only so many you can remove. I prefer the cooler weather for sure. And hell, I wear shorts and a t-shirt year round anyway. It’s 22° here today, with about 4-6mph breeze, but feels nice to be out in it while I’m cooking on the grill. [emoji1787][emoji6][emoji16][emoji631]

I have worked in both extremes. Been in a refinery in Corpus Christi in August and a mine tailings pump house in northern Alberta in February. I was soaking with sweat in my full FR coveralls in the refinery and we had to take turns working outside in the -40F without wind chill in the mine. Both sucked on different ends of the scale. That said I would rather work outside in a Wisconsin winter than somewhere along the gulf in August. I come in from cleaning snow in single digit weather sweating as it is. One thing about extreme cold is that if you sweat you get way colder after so you need to pace your work just like in the heat.

Plus it is safe to swim in the water up here. There are less poisonous and toothy critters.

Ill take the hotter climate I dont like being locked down in a garage in the colder weather puts a real damper on my projects

Yeah, but cold weather offers up the opportunity to snuggle up for warmth!

I really can't argue with that statement.

You guys always say that but never mention in the summer you can’t work outside cause it’s too hot and humid.

Heat sux!
Cold sux--to work in.

You won't hear me say that! I worked on blacktop in the middle east it was so dang hot the soles of our boots would melt away in just a couple of weeks of working.

Now I just wear good undies and prepare to be wet the entire time

I can’t stand to sweat like that. Like I said, you can only get so naked. I’ll take the weather here in the PNW any day. Rarely ever freezes, rarely over 90, never humid when it’s hot. No poisonous critters in the cold clear water, only thing is rattlesnakes in the high desert. Ahhhhh.

Been there, done that. Did asphalt in July/August. Boots melted like crazy. Too damn hot for me.

This is how the roof should always look.
