oh ye weather gods

Has it hit NYC yet ?

Nah, we're on the fringe of it so far. It's 9 degrees C outside. Trying to do all my outside errands before it hits. Expecting a gradual 20 degree drop in the next 12 hours. It's been raining a lot over the last day, which is a worry. All that water is going to freeze.

They were talking about massive flooding in areas of the US when the temperature suddenly goes back up.

How are things for you @SilverHood ? Hope all is well. The reports coming out from North America, esp Buffalo, look grim!

Nothing much to report, it was a bit windier than usual, but no snow or ice. Rats in my trash area seem to have scarpered off, so that is a plus.

Fuck sleeping downstairs and feeling awful all day again, I've had it. I actually want a permanent install, but I'll do that in a few years. For now this will do. Comes with exhaust fittings for sash windows (which I have), or a standard window, which works perfectly for the two rooms it'll live in.

I did wonder about venting it up an unused chimney, but decided not to because of the amount of moisture in the exhaust.

Tom we use ours with the window open and it works just fine for sleeping.

Is your insulation making your house too hot @Tom?

Open a window?

 

[Tom]

Insulation will make the house cooler during summer.

 

[Ctuchik]

Only to a point, if it's too warm outside it will defeat the insulation and the house will warm up. Because insulation sucks at letting heat out by design.

 

[Tom]

Insulation also sucks at letting heat in by design.

 

[Embattle]

Going to try this year and keep the windows shut during the hottest days.

My house is lovely and cool in the summer, even when it was 40c out, it was low 20s, nearly a metre thick, insulated walls will do that.
