That rainy Tuesday in Toledo changed my whole approach to attic runs
I used to hate doing attic work, thought it was the worst part of the job. Last Tuesday we had a deluge in Toledo and I got stuck working in a tight attic for 6 hours straight. Customer had a finished basement so all lines had to go up top, 4 drops total. By hour 3 I had worked out a system with my telescoping rod and a headlamp that cut my time per drop down to 45 minutes. That day I actually started enjoying the quiet up there with the rain on the roof, no boss breathing down my neck. Has anyone else found a weird trick that made a job you hated suddenly bearable?

Ha! So the secret to loving attic work is basically forced isolation and a rain soundtrack.

Think it's a bit dramatic to call it forced isolation just cause you're working in an attic. A little rain noise is nice background but doesn't make me suddenly love a dusty cramped space with one lightbulb. If you need a whole weather condition and total silence from the world to enjoy fixing some storage shelves, maybe the problem is you don't like the work at all.
