Another Hot Day Working on the Roof

As I work for a roofing company, I tend to enjoy the more temperate times of the year - spring and early autumn come to mind. Winter is freezing up there on the roof, and can be very windy too. It doesn't take long for my hands to become numb and sometimes I have to stop work altogether. But summer isn't so bad - yes it's obviously hot in the middle of the day, but we work earlier in the morning when it's cooler and we can often complete jobs by around 11AM - beating the sun's hottest rays of the day. From that point on, we can work on indoor jobs, where we can use air conditioning or fans to keep us cool. So really, out of the whole year, it's only the 3 months of winter that I really dislike - the other 9 months are OK for me as a roofer.
