No. Don't enjoy working in it.
Its rare to be above 25 though. I'll work until lunchtime and then enjoy it rather than sweating buckets cleaning windows in baking heat. No point or need to.

I love the way my shorts stick to my legs so I cant’t climb into the van. The way the sweat trickles constantly down my back, the sunburn, the headaches. Bring it on!
Might even wear my Goretex jacket and trousers today  :)

Drink loads of water Dave, and where a cap, should help headaches mate

We’re working on a metal roof. Could fry an egg on it.
Personally, I love it.

I became self employed to enjoy weather like this rather than work in it.

Went out last night n bought some beers to stick in the fridge, so I know when I've finished work these next couple of days, I can sit in the shade or the kids paddling pool n have one  ;D ;D

So far today, every 2nd house the baseball cap goes under cold water tap for a little fill and then on the head it goes. Lovely n cool for a short while

Anyone who likes working in weather like this has got something wrong with them. How much better a day does it have to be before you give yourself the day off to do something more enjoyable ?  Life's too short. So what if you're a few days late and off schedule, do you think your customers are going to thank you or even care ?

Some of us have contracts and schedules to honour. Can’t take a day off cos it’s a bit sunny.

Me too. I've an eot clean each day for next 2 months. I start it at 10 each day for 1 - 2  hours. For the next couple of days that's all I'm going to do with rest of day to chill and enjoy. I'll get behind but I don't care, its only money.

and do what?my missus is working,all my bandmates/friends are working so whats the point in having a day off?

usually the ones bunking off on a warm day are just physically not up to working in it i reckon! ;D

besides im still catching up with work from my mexican holiday last month.... ;)

Gotta be honest, Im not physically capable of working a normal day in 30 degrees heat.
Then again when I was 25 i wouldn't have worked a full day in this.
You've gotta be mental to enjoy working in these temps
I did a conny roof then chilled today.

And Daz, why do you need other people to have a day off, do you hate you're own company? 😱

Thought I was going to really suffer today in this weather , I did ok though , I am drinking a lot more water than I usually do though , maybe it’s not fatigue but dehydration!
I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !
