grrrr. I should not have to argue about this

Hell, I dress up like a mummy just to do heavy garden work. Pulling a few weeds is one thing, but I own Yakka-style cotton drill workpants, lighter cotton drill top with Coolmax (or something similar) ventilation, breathing mask, gloves, workboots, safety glasses, hat...

And yeah, I'll typically use the pants, top, gloves and workboots even for gardening. The glasses and mask for things like trimming branches above my head.

If I had to go crawl under the house... well, I probably wouldn't. Safer to hire someone.

I am not looking forward to installing underfloor insulation in the house in a few weeks with all the spideys running around. I'll need a heavy duty CSI suit, I wonder where you get those.

I got my long-sleeved/long pants kit at the men's department in K-Mart or Big W or some such.
Gloves and other safety gear from any hardware store.
The boots - mine are actually hiking boots, which do the job fine. Army surplus places are also great for this sort of thing.
