Brainstorm of different occupations that benefits from the cold weather:

1. Mechanic--cars are more likely to not start. Most people don't have garage for their own vehicles so they don't want to work in freezing temps to fix cars.

2. Handymen/women--My heater went out last night. I had to have handyman come and fix it. The guy said that many people were calling about broken heaters last night.

3. Cabella, REI, and any stores that sells winter clothes.

What else can you think of ?

Being an Eskimo. They know how to stay warm. (Joking, of course).
 
That's a pretty short list. Let me add a few...

  • Tow truck driver
  • Road crew/plow operator
  • Body shop for car accidents
  • Ski resorts
  • Snow shoveler
  • Dry cleaners (to clean winter coats)
  • Health clubs (people get fat and bored)
 
Chimney constructors? Umm..those guys that cut wood....thise companies that make hot chocolate.

Those guys who cut wood are called wood splitters, I believe. :dunno: They split wood to make firewood.

And companies that make hot chocolate I would raid for sure.... especially those who have whipped cream nearby. (Joking again).
 
My brother in law is a linemen he makes mad overtime money during the winter.
 
Plumbers. I just paid one Saturday $455 for repairing a burst water pipe in our garage. :(

Nope. We also had to tear out and throw away wet sheet rock from the ceiling and wall. Also, had to throw some stuff, salvage what we could of the storage cabinets (warped), and dried off every tool and part (including nuts and bolts in bins). It was a mess, and a lot of hassle. Our grandsons helped with cleanup.

Sounds like you have a lot of major repairs coming up when it warms up again. That's not gonna come cheap. I hope you can get by, and I'm sure you'll be okay.

Hubby already bought and installed the sheet rock. Just some more prepping and then painting when the weather is warmer. We would have preferred to replace the cabinets but we'll just have to live with them. The solid oak parts aren't too bad he had to rip off the fiberboard backings, and might replace the warped shelves. We're hoping that the electric tool chargers, radio, work light, and clock will be OK.

I hope so, too. There's no need to have something bad happen to wiring. And those electric tools should be all right. Wouldn't hurt to check for damaged wires or frozen wiring, and if you see any, they may need to be replaced. As for that clock, if it's a real old clock, it might need professional attention-- I know some garages come with these from years back.

Did you mean you just have to live 'without ' the cabinets ?
