4 degrees, windchill is well below zero. And, I'm stuck replacing my serpentine belt on my car outside in the wind. (Actually, replacing the idler pulley - bearings went bad and the belt popped off. Changing the belt in the process, as long as I have it off anyway.)

This is not fun!

Dude its like 69 here, we don't know what winter is. (Davis, CA)

Dude, my fingertips are about frozen off! Stupid car design... I can't get a socket on the tensioner pulley bolt, and I don't have a set of metric wrenches long enough. Oh well, I'll have to buy a new wrench tomorrow so I can get the belt on.

are you wearing work gloves... I hate working on my car during winter...

 

[DrPizza]

Yep, had work gloves on. Too thin considering the temperature. I still had to take them off quite a few times so I could actually feel what my fingers were doing. Not a lot of work space between the sheet metal and the pulleys; even thin work gloves got in the way at times, especially when I was trying to position the belt.

Garage + space heater = slightly less suckage

Tons of stuff in one garage still from when we moved (still not completely unpacked, but close; lots to get rid of)
And garage 2 is filled with the kids stuff... dirt bikes, 4 wheeler, etc.

read the thread! There's only 7 or 8 posts! I actually have enough room in my garages for 3 cars. Plus, I could stick a bunch couple more in the barn, and one in an old shed. Problem is: space is occupied.
