Hot temps.( mid 90's )....high humidity......NO breeze.......makes sawing brutal this week under a tin roof.

I saw until 3pm and shut it down until the next day.
I have no power in my shed but started, today, using my power box to run a fan.
It absolutely DOES NOT cool the place down but when I take a break for a bottle of water or a Sundrop,
the fan does help cool me down and build a little energy back up. I'm able to saw a few more BF with the help of this setup.
But I'm telling ya.....we don't even have a breeze on these hot, humid days.  :)

I feel your pain.  I was sawing for a customer yesterday out in the open. Sun beating down, 85F and barely a little breeze and quite humid.  I was happy to get the job finished.  I was spent.
I want my 35f weather back  :D
It's the going that counts not the distance!

As GD said, it's been brutal up here as well.  I've always said I can't live in the South due to the heat but I can't tell the difference this summer. ::)  Well at least we don't have venomous snakes or grits! ;D ;)   ...yet... :-\

My point is......if you don't have one of these power sources, it would be a good investment.
You can jump a dead battery, It has 120 volt, 12 volt, USB port, and a work light. On the back is a hose to pump up a flat tire.  smiley_thumbsup

I used to wonder why the old-time sawyers saved their logs to saw in the fall and winter.  The reason dawned on me after I sweated my socks wet off-bearing slabs in August.   Regards, Clark

They are also very handy to power a DC diaphragm pump to power a spray tank so that you can spray the lumber with borates because it is so hot and humid that all the bugs come to visit you and your lumber for a Bug Vacation.

Now this IS a good idea. The good thing about this Power Unit, if what ever you plug in over loads it, it will turn itself off to protect the unit AND what ever you plugged into it.

Good idea Dano!  smiley_thumbsup

The humidity has been near almost 100% here.  You might not be able to shovel the heat, but you could almost shovel the moisture in the air.  I've been breaking out a sweat just looking at the boards I have to sticker stack (at 6:00 am !).    ;D

No doubt about it, sheds, ones with tin, are like toaster ovens, we have been somewhat luck with at least a slight breeze for the last few weeks, still hot, nice fan David, never got one but threatened many of times for sure.  I grew up in Columbia,SC. I know most of the state is like a sauna til Oct.  david
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Hey David,

I'd be glad to come down and help you run electric out to your saw shed. That is, if you were planning on it.

I got to saw a little yesterday. Brutal doesn't seem to cover it.

Thanks Lee. I'm just waiting until I get my new steel building up and then run power to it.
Then I'll call you!  :D  (I'm glad you offered Lee before this thing turns to GRITS! )
