Temp is 96 and humidity is around 65%.

Whenever I drive pass one of those highway asphalt pavers in the summer and can feel the heat coming off it inside my truck with the ac on, I think to myself that would maybe be the worst job.

Eric, you might be right an attic is a no go zone after about 10 am here.
