The powdered electrolytes are good too and work out cheaper than buying it pre-made, I usually chuck a few spoonfuls in my Camelbak when I go hiking.

Absolutely tropical this morning, only -15C. And that feels very much warmer than -27C.
My "shed" is heated, approx 1/4 of the dowstairs level in my house. I can close it off,
temp sinks to maybe 14C but it warms up to maybe 17-18C = good for mallet-swinging carving.
The wood pellet stove is in the next room (my #2 kitchen) and it runs 24/7 to heat everything.
Very cool & shady on hot (30C) summer afternoons when the stove is shut down for the season.

We just flew in from Texas yesterday morning from 2 to 20 deg to Brisbane at high 20's at 8-00 am, I want to go straight back but a double dose of jet-lag might be harder on the old body.

The BOM site predicted 7 days of 41 degrees or higher for Goondiwindi( on the Qld/NSW border) and with two days of that prediction to go it looks like being correct. The hottest so far was Wednesday when the car thermometer indicated 43.5 on the bitumen while I was travelling. It literally sounded like driving through water as the tar melted.
There has been no shed time since before Christmas even though there is an a/c in the shed.....just too expensive to run.

I was going to do some welding today for my dust extraction ducting boom but on second thoughts maybe not.

Well, I spent the best part of an hour in my shed and have given it up as a bad joke. only 30°, but the humidity it too much.

Flurry of work in the shed on Friday as the temp wasn't too bad. Fitted the mods. to the front of the extraction system. Hot yesterday while doing some testing (anemometer was showing 31.9 degrees for the air coming through the ducting) but noticed a vibration in the system because of the solid pipe connection from the dusty to the ducting - previous 5" to 6" had flexy. Thought to myself I'll cut the pipe and put a small length of flexy in tomorrow. Just went into the shed - 35 degrees at 11am. 38degrees at 12:10 and rising
It can wait.Last edited by Lappa; 5th February 2017 at 12:13 PM. Reason: New temp

I want air conditioning but I don't even have DC yet.

There must be some clever way to cool a big shed without full on air conditioning. I doesn't need to be perfect. As long as it was 27 or below the body isn't fighting to cool down.
The problem we have here in SE Queensland is that it is both hot and humid. So evaporative cooling is not as effective as elsewhere.
I have been thinking about doing a little experiment with evaporative cooling just to see how it would go. However I still don't have DC sorted out so I really don't want to close the windows and doors. In fact I have most things on casters now so that I can work outside.
