basshead8569 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So, the summer is here and the temp has already got pretty high. For those that work in a garage with out A/C. What are some tricks to help ya keep cool? This is my first year working in a garage with no A/C. Been spoiled till this job. I have a huge fan that we sit in the middle of one of our garage doors. My works garage can hold 25+ cars. It use to be where dodge did there custom work on there classic muscle cars back in the 70-80's. So, curious of what others do to help keep cool....

Quiet Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Tell your boss to invest in one of these or you quit. If he bitches call OSHA. Bet there's a whole bunch of OSHA FAIL in his garage.

Bet there's a whole bunch of OSHA FAIL in his garage. The excess wire we get, we put in a huge bin and take to the scrap yard. We have almost 2,000 saved up. We was going to get a new table saw. Ours is not old but, we use it so much we want to get a higher end one. But, might suck it up and do this. Good idea. But, like I said we have a huge garage. sucks.

I don't mind sweating. Monday and Tuesday this week it was 89 outside and then 132 in the garage. The shop manager is 35. Oldest guy in the store of 6. He gets very crabby in the heat. We said we are going to make him a snickers commercial. lol.

Smurfboy Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Drink plenty of water. It helps to cool your body tempature. And then, maybe add more fans? Open window? I work at Amazon.com and there was no AC at that time, (hot as hell at the warehouse!!) we would have a wet cool bandage-like thing and keep it around our head or neck. It does help a lot. Maybe try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really can be. Living in Florida my garage can easily hit 100-115 in 80-90 weather if I don't open the back door and turn a fan on.

memphisBred Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Better than 150 in an attic. I'm with Hugh, tough it out. Put a floor fan in their if it's that bad. Quote SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
