No idea. I tried to walk out there but my legs melted.
- foot down?
We bought two cool mats for our dogs they don't yet have the hang of them!I am sitting at the computer with my feet firmly planted on the dog's ''Scruffs'' Cool Mat - he has walked off in a huff!
Sounds good to me.
In our house in the UK I sometimes just open the loft hatch for that very reason.
It's a Swedish design timber frame number with loads of insulation, but the heat starts to come out of the walls just as you go to bed.
Oh, so he has already decided to give up a long-term smoking habit and get a bit healthier then?Post had just turned up on my Instagram feed.. of my 14yo nephew holding a vape
Say after me, "feck no, we're busy" ...
Practice every day until it pops out without thinking about it ...
If he can afford the gym, he can pays summat that he owes ...
We use ours in the bedroom at night to suck the cooler air in from outside.
All this stuff about cooling the house, yet no one has mentioned the problem of the mozzies.
We have to deal with this and it does make things more complex. Leave a window open and the feckers come in, unless we have a mozzie screen on it. but so many of ours are french windows and those feckers are impossible to screen.
So we have to resort to closing the room, spraying, leaving it a while then opening the one window that has a screen on. But the bathroom window also has one on so we leave that one open too.
At the end of the day, and I never thought I would ever say this, we do get acclimatised, so we can live in a house at 29.1 C and sleep in a room at about 26 C, with a fan. Just avoid direct sunlight and only open windows that are in the shade. And no, although we have shutters, we never shut them. The house is designed so that in the summer the sun never shines directly into a room we use, i.e. living room and bedroom, both have covered patios or loggias in front of them. the others are all north facing or a guest room we don't use. On that one we would use the shutters except there is a huge almond tree outside it.
The orchard could do with a good downpour though. The apples are falling off the trees as they don't have enough water in them. We may get around to pumping water from the catch tank around their roots as we love our apple juice in a morning!
Sleep tite folks!

Since eye was little eye have promised meself eye will make some window filters to stop bugs coming in. Square or rectangular frame with a slot cut in the top and bottom edge, so it will slot in the window gap. Top first then bottom as it drops down. So it will stay in place. Wire metal mesh over it. Bought some mesh previously as a tester but its too fine. Will get some wiv sllightly biggerer oles soon. Am not going frew anuvva summer wivvoot it. Kin heat is annoying. Soon be winter.We use ours in the bedroom at night to suck the cooler air in from outside.

Some ov them were chukkin stuff. Eye dunt fink they were all brok'd. Probably not able to keep then temp within spec. Once the heat as gone they'll be ok but as the food int bin kept at the right temp, they chukkit. Shame that but they have their rules.
