I don’t like working in the sizzling Summer daylight with hectic deadlines being imposed on us from upper management. Before I was given a opportunity to work in the building department, I was on the landscape crew plus the two of us would lay grass plus plant flowers plus shrubs in the yards of the current houses after the building crew finished their work. All of us all savor the Winter time work because the rapidly decreasing temperatures are often in the 40s plus 50s while I was in the day when we’re busy at work on the homes we’re all building together. There was a major disruption in building contracts while I was in the COVID-19 pandemic while supply chain shortages plus backups forced some suppliers to put a halt to previous schedules plus deadlines. My state had some pretty heavy pandemic lockdowns plus restrictions so I noticed the loss of work right away when our paycheck suddenly dropped. Thankfully that’s no longer an issue now, however it’s almost worse now that I am under these insane deadlines in the middle of the Summer with 90 degree rapidly decreasing temperatures at bare minimum each day. I am a steel rebar tie wire welder plus I can say that our job becomes a residing nightmare when I have to do it in weather with 100-plus heat indexes each day. On top of the heat from our welding equipment, the coils of rebar tie wire absorb radiant heat from the daylight while they sit out before I’m able to get to them. That means the rebar is already sizzling before I even get to it with our welding equipment, making the job of installing the rebar wire ties even harder than normal.
