Thread: Shed full of hot air

Ouch!

Best thing I ever did was insulate and put air con in my shed.

Bugger at 35C I have to give up and close the door ATM humidity is so damn bad.

I was going to do some early work in the shed but the temperature! 10°
I stayed inside where it's nice and warm.

The cyclone that came down the Queensland coast held a lot of hope that we would get at least some of its rain. All we got was only around 5° but it did bump up the humidity an awful lot.

The temperatures in my shed are right up there making me retreat around lunch time. What I have done to combat the heat was to mount a evaporative cooler in the shed. NO hang on its not being used with water. I have mounted it high inside the shed to pull the hot air out(and any air born dust) and blow it outside, through a duct. BUT the whole thing has been mounted for 3 years.....minus the duct to take out the air. It was a defunct unit rescued from the tip, but needed new bearings in the motor and the squirrel cage. Well I did the motor but have run out of enthusiasm to do the fan....oh and make the duct. ( I really don't know if the set up will do what I want or not. Won't know till its finished)

Enthusiasm is in very short supply, so if anyone has some surplus I would gladly take it

This was taken at 6pm this afternoon and I looked this morning and it hit 35 at around 9am. Doesn't leave much time to do stuff.

On the todo list, but now not working full time, money is a little short.

The mind says go, but the body says NO!!!!!!!! Air conditioner in the pipeline, but other things take priority.

oh and I thought this was a comment on parliament!

Geoff you are a glutton for punishment leaving smog filled Sydney for a fridge state Tassie.

We are getting soft gents seriously ...............or is it just older and we are in need of more comfort climate all year round.

I won't drag up the days, weeks or months I have worked in sheds some with no doors on crawling round under vehicles or at benches or when its pouring rain wind blown off the alps. Scorching heat when tools get so hot even in the shade you can't touch them.

Yep getting old it is.

Longreach is a good place to visit, at Easter & early September, you have have it all to yourself the rest of the time.

Ok so this is today glad I had the day planned in the shed.

I was sitting just outside the garage door when light drizzle started so I moved back under the garage door (its a swing up type.). No sooner had I then down it came and i had to get Sue to help move the bench etc in side.

Temp was 23C angel shows 18C

That's pretty funny!
I'm just up the road and was tossing up whether or not to fire up the woodheater.
Doubt that it's ever been 46 degrees here.
