Why I Can't Work On Re-Modeling My Layout Trailer - MountainMan - 06-29-2011
Unbelievably, it is 114.1 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now!!
hock: I cannot imagine how hot it is inside that metal trailer, now stripped of everything inside including insulation.

114.1 degrees Fahrenheit --- metal trailer --- Hmmmmmmm
it's a LPMO ( Large Portable Metal Oven )
I can hear the threat now --- "Go ahead, work on your layout room !and Your goose will be cooked !!"

Wow, that is a tad hot. Wish you could send a few degrees of that heat up here - we really haven't yet had much of a summer here on the west coast (BC). I don't think it has yet to hit 25 Celsius. Maybe next month.
I think that's why around here we get out the shorts and sandals whenever it gets to 20 C; if we wait until it gets to 25 or 30, we'll only be able to wear these summer clothes for two weeks if we are lucky.
My wife who is Japanese and used to 30 + C summers with high humidity hasn't figured that one out yet - maybe give her another 10 years living here and she'll adapt.

Egad! I say put a turkey in the trailer, and come back in a few hours and retrieve your feast

Do you have an botched plastic car that you can put in the trailer and watch melt?

I suppose I could experiment with thermo-forming... :?

Yikes. I'd put an oven thermometer in there, just to see how hot it is getting.

Believable, when we lived in california I'd be in the garage with 110+ temps, swear I could cook eggs on the white garage door

I think I've located a small air-conditioner that might work. The one that was in it isn't any good, and I need to re-route the air to a down-draft through the skylight anyway, in order to free up the back wall of the layout.
Ah, well...one step at a time...but now I understand why a lot of modelers prefer clubs. Everything takes longer by yourself. 8-)
