I was recently given a job in my local . It’s a burn the roof structure was consumed by a fire. I never get to work close to home so this is great !!
So we did a few things in the heat today

At 8:00 AM we set up the crane to put the truss packages on the building 
OP
By 11:00 AM we had them all rolled up

There was six of us on the job.
It got to 105 degrees Fahrenheit here yesterday.

Hot !! Stay cool my friend..put some time in over the years on roofs. used to do the flat rubber..have torch out in 95 degree wheather. No where to hide from the heat on a roof is there !
OP
Now today (Saturday) I am the only one here, I am going to finish laying out the new door location and the new windows on the south elevation, strip the forms on the new laundry room, snap and layout the walls and doorway, then layout the post locations for a new ridge beam line under the trusses.
I hope you all are having a great Saturday.
Cheers

No there isn’t been doing this for far to long, the only advantage is the bit of a breeze you get.
Thanks brother

No kidding..i remember that breeze..after torching 50' runs..any breeze even if its hot air is such a relief. Getting in the work truck with the AC on. Your skin retained heat that you could feel !
OP
Yes it does .

Down in the valley today, control survey for future subdivision.
No trees, 110+, I feel your pain brotha.
Lots of Gatorade, water, soda, and then beer when I get home. Hoping to roll into town by 9:00 p.m.
The things I'll put up with just for string money! Lol.
Stay safe my friend.
OP
Thanks Steve, you stay safe in that heat as well buddy
OP
Not sure where the fire started but it looks like it could have been near this spot

I have to, I am to old to work dumb now.
Main reason I have been cutting off of horses for quite some time now.
I call them back savers

Cheers to the beer
OP
I know they had one, just don’t know where it is now, but there is still a bag of charcoal and lighter fluid on the carport.Must have been a BBQ
