Retired 15 years ago after 32 years as a firefighter. I spend as much time in the shop as I can but have to shut down the three car garage shop for four months due to the heat here in AZ. Make room for the car as it is no fun getting into a car that has been sitting in the sun in 115+ degrees during the day. OK, I know it is a dry heat! I tried to apply some finish to complete a project when it was 110 outside and the finish was drying before it hit the material being sprayed. Work all fall,winter and spring with the garage doors open. At 72 years young, I still get a high off woodworking.
Good Luck:
