uh oh, what was that sound
Florida here. My AC only runs non-stop if all of this hits at once: I let it get hot inside, it’s 95F outside, and it’s late afternoon where I catch zero shade.
The spray foam attic insulation under the roof is the bomb. If I had my druthers I’d force that in all new construction. Insane that we still use fiberglass and other crap.
I heard spray insulation voids your homeowners insurance. Is that still true?
Who can afford insurance in FL? 😏
Haven’t heard that. I can say this, we have a Habitat for Humanity home and the insulation, structure, windows, etc. are well above code. They don’t play. The mission is to put people in homes they can afford, from the day you sign the mortgage, into the future.
Yeah, the faucets, doorknobs, lighting, carpet, linoleum, all that is shit. But again, they don’t fuck around with structure (hurricane zone here) or insulation. Most energy efficient place I’ve ever lived.
How you qualify for one of those homes?
that was me until i realized my roommate set the fan to on instead of auto
Central Europe here. We had like two weeks of scorching hell and then it has been raining ever since.
So jealous. We get torrential downpour or so hot and humid it is dangerous to be outside during daylight hours.
During the day go out
During night use an air conditioned sleep pod (cheaper than cooling the whole home)
Air conditioned sleep pod
You mean those eggy things, one uses to go to sleep forever and an alien plant clone of you takes over your life?
I would love to make the switch
Is this the plot of the sims
You know how there are people who like being really warm? Just try to imagine what they feel like. It isn’t your shitty apartment. You’re in a tropical location, on the beach. This is amazing. It’s not hot, it’s summery warmth! People would pay for this probably! Maybe you’ll eventually get into it and save a bunch of money?
Alternatively, you can always imagine what it’s like not to have an AC
Bay Area checking in. We have had a mild summer somehow. I feel bad for the rest of you tho.
How bout keep it on for another little bit til it gets cool enough for uou then shut it off? And by cool enough for you I mean about 5 degrees F warmer than you’d ideally want it
My AC gave up the ghost 5 weeks ago.
I’m watching Happy Gilmore 2 as the crew installs a new one.
