Week 8: Which is tougher to work in: summer heat or winter cold?

Contest Rules and Regulations

I love summer heat, sweating it out isn't a big deal even at 100f temps or 90f plus humidity compared to winter cold, everything is so damn slow to build in the winter, shovelling snow to start the day, extra layers of clothes slow down your movements...not to mention the trip to the porty potty and what it requires to open yourself.

Summer is much tougher. When it's cold, you can always put on another layer or carry some lumber to get warm. When it's hot out, it's tough to cool off. Lot's of water breaks. And the sun completely drains you.

I'd scrape the ice off of studs any day over working in 100 degree temps with 100% humidity. Walking walls that have icy patches sure gets interesting though.:whistling

They both can be tough. It depends what your doing in each climate. Concrete in both of these climates can be a bitch. Believe me,I have done it. Out of the two I would have to say cold weather. Their tends to be more set backs during colder weather. Rain creates all kinds of havoc and lets not forget snow. Also, more accidents tend to happen in colder weather where I live.

To me, working in the cold is the worst. I know it all comes with the job but those wet, cold, slushy days just beat me down. If my feet ever get cold, I mean real cold, I'm done. A good pair of boots can make you or break you in the hot or cold tempretures.

i find extreme summer heat harder to work in. the combination of the sun taking the energy out of you and the risk of heat stroke can hit hard. every one slows down and has to stop for water more often.

i find the hardest thing about working in the extreme cold is the added weight and reduced rang of motion from wearing extra layers.. framing and climbing all day when hanging siding with all the extra clothes tires out the muscles but you dont have to worry about heat stroke... just dont go to the gym in the evening

They both can be tough if your outdoors. Alway thought the winter is easier on the body because you can always add layers where as the summer you cant. The sun seems to get hotter every year.

I love working in both. Shorts and short sleeves in the summer. Then hit the ac on the way home. Winter is layered clothing and a nice toasty house to come home too. Rain in either sucks

They are both tough to work in. However, I find summer the worse of the two. Not so much because of the heat, but because of the humidity. It makes everything stick to you and it makes it difficult to breathe. Tossing on a few extra layers, and heading inside to warm up a couple times a day makes the cold "bearable."

i hate the summer heat
