Yesterday I had to get on my composite shingle roof to make some repairs to my evaporative cooler. The reported high for yesterday was 108 F. I spent about two hours on the roof working on the evap cooler. This is a picture of the tennis shoes I was wearing on the roof after I came down from the roof.



The roof was hot enough that it melted the soles off my shoes. The roof was very hot and so was I. I also drank lots of water for the rest of the day.

If you find you have a need to perform work on your roof, I strongly suggest that you schedule it for as early in the morning as you can due to the high temperatures you encounter later in the day. Also, remember to take plenty of water with you as you will dehydrate very quickly in our summer time heat.

By the way, the evaporative cooler parts I purchased turned out to be the wrong ones (Don't worry mister, those are the right parts for sure!) so I get to do this repair again this coming week once the correct parts show up.
