Working in attics is right up there with the best, wiring, duct work, insulation...
Replacing the roof at church is a memorable moment. Having it torn off, needing to get it back on before it rained. All volunteer help, none of us really knowing what we were doing. As the sun came down the help started disappearing... By the end of the day the few that remained were dehydrated, stumbling tired, roof so hot we were leaving foot prints in the melted shingles! A miracle none of us had heat stroke or fell.
Place I used to work, a pasta factory, had several steam heated dryers. One in particular had a problem with the conveyor belt support rods breaking on one end and dropping down, jamming the return side of the conveyor belt. I would have to go in and remove the damaged rod. Couldn't shut off the heat or the entire content would be ruined. One end, the pre dryer was 140-145*. The finish dryer was 160*.
I could go into the pre dryer. Plan the trip, take off glasses, put on gloves, take a deep breath, jump in and stay low. Stand up, twist the 1/4" bolt off, jerk out the rod, get out!!! Come out soaked with sweat, dizzy, burned anywhere I touched anything metal.
The 160* finish dry end, no way! Just trying to reach in, body would say "you can do it", brain would say "no you ain't"!

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
