I don't know what the limit may be but I do know if the insulation is
too cold it shatters when you staple it.

I try use several boxes and keep rotating them into a warm area (last
choice - cab of the truck).

Best choice is to avoid stapling when its cold - I generally use a lot
more zip ties.

I suppose there's a reason (PVC brittle perhaps?) not to pull cable
at such temperatures but why would you want to anyway?

You'd want to in order to save the lives and property of the people who live
here in the cold Canadian winter.

In case you've forgotten that end of the business, it's not all about making
a profit selling parts to people who don't know what to do with them and
taking trips to Brazil with their hard earned and easily lost money. It's
about helping people and making the community you live in a better place to
live.

Some people think that home construction comes to a stand-still when
Winter comes. Some people think that homeowners only buy security
systems in the Spring, Summer, and early Fall. Some people think that
running wire is no longer necessary (or archaic). Some people think
that a nine year kid can wire up and program a fire alarm panel and
would be qualified to provide technical support to installers and
technicians. Then again, some people simply think dumb thoughts and are
stupid enough to actually express them in a forum of mostly professionals.

Suuuure. That's the reason you're in the business. Uh-huh.

Cold, Canadian winters? Since I never worked there in summer or
winter, there's nothing to forget. The few times I have been to
Canada though, the folks I met seemed nice enough. I'll let you save
their lives though.

> it's not all about making a profit...

Oh, so you don't make a profit? Gee, that's too bad. Maybe that's
why you're PO'd all the time -- jealousy.

If you can't afford to take a vacation once in a while, it's not my
fault. I'm not the one who made you such a failure.

Uh-huh. I can see by the way you post here how concerned you are
about making the community better.
