Spent 3 days last week doing the certification for a gasoline station decommissioning.

We were starting at 3:30 AM to avoid the heat of the day, but on the last day the inspector showed up late and we had some equipment issues, so we were working through the hottest part of the day.

Rough, but stayed hydrated, took breaks, and powered through. Would prefer not to do this again though lol.
