Working In The Cold

Posted:

The cold weather isn't stopping one man from doing his job.

Kevin Luukinn is braving the cold today putting shingles on a new home in north Bismarck.

He says he's worked in the extreme heat and the extreme cold doing his job.

No matter how cold it is today, that didn't stop him from putting in a full shift.

"Oh about nine hours, since about eight o' clock this morning, I've worked out in 20 below zero wind chill was 40 below, just part of the job, work still needs to get done, It'd be a lot nicer if it was 60 or 70 degrees," Kevin Luukinn said.

Luukin says works for about 45 minutes and then warms up for 20 minutes.

He also makes sure to wear appropriate clothing to keep his body warm.
