Has been nucking futs with the humidity here. Get up at sunrise and try to get outside stuff done before its too miserable, I was ready for a shower the other day by 10am. Sometimes that don’t help either when its still almost 80 at midnight. I really hate summer, give me the other three seasons anytime.

I love a crisp fall morning. :)

Yes sir, I love when the leaves start turning.

I was just having this conversation with a co-worker. I like it when it's cold enough to layer; you can always take a jacket or a sweatshirt off if you're working or your activity level increases, but when it's hot there's only so much you can take off.

Know that for a fact before this old farm house had central AC, lay in bed practically naked and sweat the night away.

We still don't have AC. I'll go to bed before my wife. We have a 6' sliding door in the bedroom. I'll have that open, all the windows open, the ceiling fan on and be lying in my boxers on top of the covers. I'll wake up around 2am, the fan is off, door and windows shut. My wife will have on fleece PJ bottoms and a t-shirt, covers (that were obviously on her before) are kicked off of her and she's sweating. WTH? I'll get up to open the door and if she hears me she'll automatically respond by saying "Don't open that, it's cold in here"....

Ditto here, wife wants to open windows at night, nope. The the humidity in the house goes back up since we’ll have like near 100% humidity at night

Humidity has dropped here, the sky has that deep blue fall look. Hope we have weather like this at the state fair.

Beautiful nights lately! 50's, low humidity....

I don't know if anyone is from central Iowa but I've been working out there and it's been 100 everyday damn near 90% humidity and up with 70 degree dew points. Ridiculous

Hot and humid seems to be the trend here too. I have a bunch of wood to split and I just don't even want to look at it. I was on the roof the other day for a couple hours and it looked like I just jumped in the water when I got down. Give me cold weather any day

Yep, I have an elderly guy I rent a little ground from, he lives like over 2 hours away around Chicago. he has an old shed on the property wit the fiberglass sky lights, last couple of winds got the better of em. Of course they used tin that was only ever made by one company and they haven’t made it in over 25 years so absolutely no chance of finding any panels to match the tin, bought the closest thing I could find, old stuff was 30” coverage, new stuff is 36” so I have plenty to work with.
Pull whats left of the old, pull all the nails, pull the ridge cap, slide one side of the polycarbonate till the ridge in it is under the second ridge of the old tin, lift the sheet on the other side of poly and slip that side under a ridge, jockey back and forth a little, screw it all down, do the other side of the roof, try to place whats left of the old foam seal under the ridge cap and screw that down, thankfully I have plenty of poly far as length so have been shoving it high as possible under the ridge cap. Takes about an hour a section, 4 down 8 to go. Is absolutely miserable to do when just setting the ladder up gets sweat running in your eyes.
