Winter

[shanered6]

well its gone to 28c now and i am honestly really starting to feel it now , its so energy draining and in the mill all the dust sticks to you .
i have to admit to being a hater of heat ! for me 16c to 20c is plenty and i could deal with that all year but anything more is horrible ! as for work 12c to 15c is plenty , i dont know how the rest of you deal with the heat and temps you get i would be in shorts and a vest in your winter months and still be dieing of the heat .

I need my crew to get some temp readings at work. It's been 12 years since I performed their work and I never really worried to much about the temps I was working in, just made sure I had drank plenty fluids to keep from having heat issues.

My current work temps range from 71 to 74 degrees, got to keep my control systems cool.

I have worked outdoors all of my life in all kinds of temperatures. I prefer to work in the heat vs the cold.

When it is really hot you just pace yourself. I hated putting on and taking off layers. I like to be able to take the garbage out or get the mail barefoot all year around.

Women's work.

As long as she mows the grass, I'll get the mail and take out the trash every now and then.

My crew had it better today than I did, it was cooler out on the units than it was in the control room. My 73 degree control room was from 90 to 96 degrees with 50% humidity. I'm about wiped out, the fans weren't moving any air around my control boards and it felt like I was sitting in a furnace for 12 hours. At least they had a breeze out on the boiler to make for some comfortable conditions.

The ac went out?

 

[hemibee]

Lost entire electrical service on one unit which was feeding the a/c circuit. Not too bad today, 75 in the control room and 115 just outside the door.

It is comforting to know that even the power companies have power failures.

Yeah, some one had a big oh schmitt moment and then we had to pay for it the next day.

I hear you. Here they blame on squirrels or lightening.

For home owners, squirrels, lightening and snakes are the biggest cause followed by wind and trees. Here, human error or equipment malfuntion is the biggest errors followed by lightening, wind and sometimes trees.
