of course, when i can paint outside at xmas time wearing shorts/no

who is shoveling snow to ask them how it is.

Of course. Should we exchange phone numbers so I can call you in
the middle of summer when I have a nice calm sunny 70F day to check on
how you're doing?

While most very northern summer days are pleasent, last summer I was
putting a roof on a house and it was calm, sunny and 97 degrees...in VT 40
miles from Canada. Every dog has his day.

Here in NC, roof is just plain off limits July & August. For one it's
suffering stupid. Then there's the fact of doing damage just walking on an
existing roof.
