I think the other guy thought of it, to run the central AC
for a few minutes, while we did the duct work. Did a good
job, too.

If only they had AC ductwork around the boiler in the power plant _TO_
unfasten!!!! Did a pulverized coal flow test in middle of July heat
wave about like this one outside St Louis some years ago. 140F roughly
around the boiler; it felt absolutely MAAAAHVULESS to go take break in
the doorway where outdoor temps were only 105F or so...

Reminds me of a time I was working on a BellSouth cable vault
( the little buried thingies they have all over, that are actually
pre-cast concrete equipment rooms lined with racks of gear, and only
the condensor and the hatch above ground ).

I would go in for 15 minutes, and have to take a break ( no
AC, it was hotter than hell in there ). As I stuck my head up the
hatch for some air, I was rejoicing in how cool it felt by comparison.

Then I remembered it was a 98 degree day, and very humid :-(
