While not action-packed, this job will leave you sweat-itching for days and then the phantom itching begins.
During an Oklahoma heatwave (109 with humidity) I went from central Oklahoma to Kansas with my aunt when I was 14 to get 4-foot wide batts of fiberglass insulation. We brought it back to install in her big wood shop. She was never one to half-a$$ a job. In layers of long sleeves and something like calamine lotion we slowly unfurled those batts of sticky itchy insulation in her broiling metal building.
With only fans kicking dust in our faces and sweat-stinging our eyes with fiberglass bits we coated her massive building.
That's character-building in the name of love.
