A dangerous job but someones got to do it!!!

It's 11:00am in the middle of September and I'm on a job site to assist one of my technicians with an exclusion. The customer has had a rat problem for sometime and a raccoon had previously nested in the exterior soffit. Excluding a home for rats can be a tricky project. They can be very resourceful so anything larger than a quarter size hole must be filled or sealed. This includes vents on the roof, A/C chases, ridge vents, soffits, and gable ends. This can prove to be a very difficult task at times. Areas where the soffits meet the shingles can be tough to reach and the architecture on homes have become complicated to say the least. In some homes the gables and vents must be sealed from the inside of the attic with a thick gage metal screen in order to keep nuisance animals out and still allow proper ventilation. This particular job required my technician to replace roughly 40' of soffit including the "J" channel that holds the soffit in place. Although I have a lot of experience doing exclusions before I took the sales position, I have never replace an entire soffit before. I enjoy learning new skills so I opted for assisting my tech on this job so I could check it out. After speaking with the customer I decided to jump right on sealing the gable ends before my tech got going on the soffit. If you've never been in an attic in the middle of the day in Florida then you truly don't understand the meaning of HOT. This attic unfortunately was a extremely tight squeeze and provided very little ventilation. A sealed gable end looks much more appealing when sealed from the interior if possible so I set off into the attic to GIT-R-DONE. After entering the attic I realized how difficult it was going to be to reach one of the gable ends, unfortunately this epiphany came after I was half way in. I'm not usually claustrophobic but with practically no ventilation this attic was scorching, Pinned on my stomach and sweating profusely, I suddenly found myself fearing the worst. They would have to cut the ceiling out to get to me if I passed out and that really never enters your mind until your in this situation. Fortunately I was able to reach the gable end and seal it but I wasted no time getting out of that attic once it was complete. It took me about 15 minutes to regain composure after exiting that oven-like attic. I have been in quite few attics but never felt such heat before and I'm really not excited about doing it again any time soon. By 2 o'clock the soles of my techs tennis shoes were literally separating from the shoe due to the heat of the roof, I mean the glue was actually melting from the heat. It's really easy to get over heated in this situation and you can't drink too much water. I can't imagine a customer trying to do this by themselves but I guess that's why we have job. Hope your weekend rocks!
