This offers a wide area of shade and they work all day in the heat.

Many framers and roofers wear their hair long in the back to protect their neck too.

We dont want to get skin cancer do we now. It ain't a very pleasant thing to get.
I wear shorts, hat, regular t-shirt. There is no way i am going to wear pants and long shirt in this weather. I just use plenty of Zinc Oxide as my main sunscreen, the use a stick type for extra protection. I do get very dark in the summer compared to the winter.

Your outside for the most part. I dont know how some of those guys wear long cloths that must stick to them while working. But it's still better then burning.

And of course if no one is home............well..........jump the hell in!! I wont tell anyone if you dont.

That reminds me of a funny story. I used to have a buddy who maintained pools like you. One of his regular contracted customers was Penn & Teller's home on the outskirts of LV. Actually I think it's Teller's home. I went with him once. I cant even remember but it was like Patrick and Haulipi or Sunset and Haulipi someplace out there at the end if civilization. The entire property was painted pink. And once inside there were beautiful naked women wondering all around the pool. They thought nothing of a couple strangers walking in. Well Pete wasn't a stranger anyway. He did his thing and we left. I would say that was about 7-8 years ago. I will never forget it. I was hired by a long list of celebrities but no I never met those two guys. Never even seen their show.

Of course the desert is cold at night. It's 9:30pm and it has already dropped all the way down to 100º. I'm freezing.
