Insane House Cool-Down Scheme
Insane House Cool-Down Scheme
'allo, I belong to little brick bungalow in a midwest city, built in 1954. Shingled roof. It gets hot as hell here in the summertime (it's already here). Sun pounds down on little house unmercifully. Outa work for years, I gotta budget so tight it makes the proverbial cat's arse ('scuse my French) look like the Grand Canyon. I just put my last 3 lbs of R-22 in my 21-year-old condensing unit (which is about to roll over and die a horrible, horrible death). They don't meter the water supply here. What (aside from sanity, which I do not possess) would keep po' me from somehow mounting a sprinkler or 2 on the roof, running them with a garden hose, say, from 11 AM to 7 PM (to cool the house, which retains heat like crazy)?? TIA, Puddin' ************************************************** **** *** Puddin' Man PuddingDotMan at GmailDotCom *** ************************************************** ****; |
