Never had an empty Stein. Hey its 5 o'clock somewhere. Another beautiful swimming day. Went to the lake for a long swim, just perfect water temp , dove down about 12 feet and was very cold down there. Loving summer as always
At any rate this week we lose the mank and that's all that matters. Sunny and 80s with low dews is summer at its finest. We take before we bake. Or we wake and bake
Nice. I run my high ceiling fan backwards so it draws the cool air up which displaces the hot air without driving it down into the living space. Once you get air moving you find your AC is more efficient. Definitely shade those windows even ambient IR produces heat and windows definitely absorb heat. Run your IR on the window frame mid day.
Toys are the bomb. When we lived on the farm for 5 years I had every toy possible. I miss the tractor. Some day I am going to rent a mini Kabota to rebuild the front road facing farmers stone wall.
Run a floor upright fan from that balcony. I assume you have no ceiling fans. You have a stratified environment. Air needs to mix and move more. Could be undersized too but I would move air from that ceiling to create thermals . I would also invest in shades and curtains to block those windows out during the day. You are fighting a lot of things there.
My battery weed whacker has a brush cutter add on if I needed it. If it works as well as my battery 18 inch chainsaw it would be no problem. No need for me as we have left the forest to be forest. Massive grape leaves took the place of all the trees that fell. Actually looks beautiful.
