Laying block or framing on 135°+ concrete slabs in Arizona ain’t any better. Monsoon season is even worse with the added humidity. You can’t drink enough water throughout the day. Your clothes are soaked through and through and you can just about pour sweat out of your boots at the end of the day. You come home exhausted. Seen lots of guys have a heat stroke. Once you have one, it’s easy to have more thereafter. I’d say the guy had himself a mild heat stroke there. As bad as it is for construction workers there I gotta think it’s even worse for the road workers. So glad I don’t have to do that shit anymore!
