I can't work in heat like that! Don't know how anyone can get anything done down there where you live.

I do not have a choice. With an upcoming trip in a few weeks it was do or die. The threads on the old tie rod were knackered so there was no turning back. Aside from that, you get used to the heat. Pick a poison. Humid at 90° or dry air at 110°. Same crap at the end of the day. Also the pit is shaded with no concrete radiating heat. On exterior work, I can work on the passenger side in the mornings and the driver side in the afternoons. Just a matter of adapting and doing. I can’t sit still and my determination is what keeps me going even to the detriment of my body.

Jack, 
I can't do heat either.....the garage with doors on each end gives me a nice breeze and shading.  Like Simon I pick my projects.  

Simon, 
Would love a pit like yours in my garage....except, here in FL, I would bet a month's wages that on any given day there would be a Corral-headed-copper-mouth-rattle-mocasin lurking in the corner some where!
