im talking about temperatures in your workspace. bearing in mind that freezing hands make pain all the worse, but hot hands make more blood come out.
heating and cooling options allowed.
GO!
dont like freezing, but if its cold, once i start working i warm up nice, keeps me going
Nothing can be colder than your mother in law's stare. Hot FTW!

Warmer. 30-40 degrees all year round is fine by me. I can never get Warm in winter no matter how much I wear and even sitting in front of the heater with it cranked right up. I dont know how ive managed to live in melbourne all my life
Hate both extremities.
In saying that, I'd probably choose cold with a big heater, easier to get warm than it is to get cool
freezing cold. although i may be little biased, most of my work is outside in the cold
atleast in the cold you can wear more to warm up.
last week. 4 degrees in an open area. wearing shorts.
go inside the building and its like 27 degrees. a bloody sauna!
if I'm working indoors, I prefer winter - you can rug up easy enough
but if I'm working outdoors (like I often do, and at ridiculous hours of the night and morning) then I prefer summer.
Overall I prefer summer, especially now I live out west. The temps get rather high out here in summer (COLD & windy in winter) but the humidity is nothing like the coastal areas. Humidity stuffs me long before the heat does.
In the morning I normally wear 2 jumpers when its really cold to the job site , but once you get going you start taking of the layers lol
well i work in a meat processing plant so, im gonna have to go with the cold. lol
being a welder cold weather all the way welding on 40 degrees days with overalls pants shirt welding mask gloves and boots sucks ball especially when your arc is about 3000 degrees shit gets hot very quickly

Nothing beats a fresh breeze on a winters morning in my opinion![]()
Whats the matter with you people.. don't you live in australia? The home of humidity?
Hot working any day over cold. Few cold beers will cool you down good
Defiantly freezing.. can sleep much better imo ( warm and rugged up!) getting out of a bed is a mission.. but, at least you wont sweat to much thru-out the day, depending on what you do..
I also love the cold for working inside cars, !!
Only big downer is, hands feel stiff and VERY gumby haha![]()
Cold too, just get yaself some good work gloves and your set. However if I'm working I'd rather it be hotter as concrete tends to go off (cure) faster which means I normally get to go home faster. I can work in hot weather, don't mind it, just when it gets humid as fk I tend to get cranky.

cold for sure.. rug up and wear gloves so your hands dont hurt as much when a spanner slips. my mate has a few of those pole-mounted outdoor gas heater things for his shop and they work reasonably well.
theres nothing worse than doing a real bastard of a job on a stinking hot humid day i reckon
Being a Cement Renderer im screwed either way. In summer we have to work in direct sunlight which sucks on its own but it also makes the cement go off quicker so we gotta work faster, and the colder days also become a pain. Ever climbed scaffolding at 6:30 in the morning and placing your hand in your water bucket to get a tool.. Its not fun![]()
I think its easier to just get an office job...
I went cold aswell even though canberra has stupid freezzing wether its better to rug up in extra layers than be too friggin hot..no amount of beer can fix that lolol
I remember once doin security work at the University of Canberra here and had to do a patrol and was like -13 outside,tell ya one thing was quickest one i ever did with afew shortcuts lolol
Also check my ride,sitting on HSV R8 19's

cold for sure, gets rediculously hot working in engine bays when cars come in straight off the highway, specially when you gotta work on the front of the motor, heads pretty much resting on the radiator area!
I much prefer the cold, you can always add more layers for warmth but can only take so many off.
Ill say i prefer the hot. i hate wearing jumpers and beanies all day. much prefer it in the heat with shorts and singlet on.
Cant stand heat.. You can always put on more layers, you can only take off so many before you get arrested![]()
