Cool Off!
A few ways to go forth & cool off:
1. spray the roof with water repeatedly 2. put a fan in the window during the evening, it blows in outside air that's cooler I'll leave more for you... NT |

Tell the gf she has put weight on during lockdown and wait for the cold shoulder. You kept quiet about it so far, or you're speaking from experience? |

The first one is hardly practical, and the second one does not work these
last few nights as the temperature difference is simply not there. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

NT 3. Go out in the drive and sleep in the caravan. The heavy fabric of buildings will release lots of heat during the night, making it warmer indoors than it need be. A caravan's fabric store very little heat, so they are much cooler to sleep in than a bricks and mortar building. you can say that again... 4. Take a cool shower before bed and don't dry off, go to bed still wet, if it is really hot. eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuu....fungus in the crevices 5. Fill a hot water bottle, with iced water, or take freezer packs to bed wrzpped in a towel. |

For flat roofs it helps a lot. I wouldn't use it on sloping lofted roofs. 2. put a fan in the window during the evening, it blows in outside air that's cooler Think I'd go for a fan upstairs in a south facing window blowing out to extract any warm air along with 5. below. But take note of air flow caused by the prevailing wind. You want air in from the cool north. blowing in or out have mostly the same result. The upside of blowing in is the coolness is concentrated in one room. 3. Keep windows/doors (internal and external) closed during the day. totally depends on the house & current temps whether you want it open or closed at any time. NT 4. Draw curtains and/or close blinds and/or shutters on the hot south facing sides of the house during the day. 5. Once the external temperature has dropped open windows on the cooler north side. 6. Have a house with 20 tonnes of thick stone wall running through the middle of it to absorb any excess heat that gets in. |

Well this thread context is summer and it hot outside and requirement to keep inside cooler. If people are daft enough to not draw curtains etc thus letting lots of radiant heat in, then opening doors and windows to "let the heat out", the best they can achieve is making the house the same temp as outdoors. Curtains drawn and widows/doors closed up keeps a place cooler. -- Cheers Dave. |

Shut doors and windows and leave de-humidifier running then use regular electric fans. Poor mans air-con. Mine warms the air.... -- Jimk ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
