1. A c.1800 court house near the outer banks that was damaged in a hurricane, and condemned, pulling out historical records from an attic on the third floor.  No AC, no bathroom, no hotel within 40 miles.
2.  A steel warehouse building with no HVAC, no bathroom, infested with mice and snakes, reviewing 500+ boxes of records for retention. (p.s. exposure to the crap there put me down with pneumonia for 5 weeks.)
3.  Reviewing records for retention on the pool deck of an empty indoor pool with  max depth of 18 feet for the dive section, you had to be careful not to step back as you only had 4 feet between the file cabinets and the pool!
