Isn't it amazing how our parents, grandparents and great parents would see how fat, soft and giant poon-nannies we are. 78? With air conditioning? People have gotten so weak.

I agree. The house my great-grandfather built had no air conditioning and half the windows did not have screens. For over 100 years my family survived in a house with no air-conditioning. Fans, trees, thick curtains, sitting outside in the shade and not being wussies is what you need.

Yeah frick all that noise. I crawl in crawlspaces inspecting foundation issues all day, some as low as 12", pushing away snakes and spiders, fighting mold and mud. I'm plenty hardened. Cold AC when I get home is non negotiable.

And before anyone asks, I'm not complaining, I get compensated very well for my job, just stating these people that ask us to endure discomfort probably haven't really ever experienced it.
