This is the n’th weekend in a row where at three, four pm, the house is just insufferably hot. Total dog-day. It sucks the life out of me to do anything. I’m amazed that I managed to convince myself to play with my Print Gocco, in fact.
Anyway, I had the epiphany this afternoon that “fuck it, my new house is going to have smartly-setup airconditioned that is actually efficient enough to use regularly. At least that’ll make me more productive.”
Currently, although we have air conditioning in all the rooms, we only really use it in Luke’s room and my bedroom. The house is leaky, so it’s not especially efficient, and the living room isn’t easily chilled. It’s a really nauseating feeling walking out of my 73-degree office into a wall of 89-degree living room, so I tend to just leave it all off and pant at the fan.
What the new place needs is:
1) a way to easily partition segments of the house off so that the entire zone can be chilled down.
2) units that are new and efficient and aren’t going to cost an exhorbinant amount to run regularly.-

Make sure the outside part is on the south side of the house, so it is out of the sun.
