Graham: Just reading all the reponses so far sounds like a lot of work for a relatively short time period. What about leaving everything the way it is and ask people to come in after the sun goes down. (Or start real early like at 3:00 AM) This way folks get to enjoy the hot weather, eat Lobsters, and work when its a little cooler. Of course, if your operation runs around the clock then another alternative is necessary.
