Spotted you bigman on the hill into Jarrahdale.Baalzamon wrote:Quite windy out by byford this morning. Just what I needed gusty easterly for a hills ride Good hill tho offered some protection
I was scooting back down the hill. It was bliss compared to pushing into the Easterly up hill.

I saw the BNA jersey, then the bike and before it clicked in my head I had sailed past. Sorry.
Mind you it was a quick descent to the main road

After we get through a summer I think that wasn't too bad we can wait on the air con (we've been doing renovations / landscaping for the past 2 years and air con wasn't a priority), but now the summer heat is back I'm changing my mind.

I hope those renovations included some good roof and wall insulation, a couple of whirlybirds in the roof, house/window shading and new double glaze windows?erin wrote:After we get through a summer I think that wasn't too bad we can wait on the air con (we've been doing renovations / landscaping for the past 2 years and air con wasn't a priority), but now the summer heat is back I'm changing my mind.
A well designed house shouldn't need air-conditioning, even on a 37 degree day.

Roof installation yes, wall installation no. We put in a new patio at the back of the house to shade the back area and we put in block out blinds inside. Will be working on shading the front with a shade sail and then tinting the windows to keep out the heat.elStado wrote:I hope those renovations included some good roof and wall insulation, a couple of whirlybirds in the roof, house/window shading and new double glaze windows?erin wrote:After we get through a summer I think that wasn't too bad we can wait on the air con (we've been doing renovations / landscaping for the past 2 years and air con wasn't a priority), but now the summer heat is back I'm changing my mind.

A 37 degree day isn't too bad...if we get a seabreeze in (as we're near the coast). We can re-open the house when the sea breeze is in and all is OK thanks to natural air con. It's day like Wednesday / Thursday this week where you have two really hot days in a row and no seabreeze either night that it gets a bit hard to cool down.

Tell me about it. I live in a western facing, 2-story townhouse which is good in some ways as we get the sun during winter and also the sea-breeze in summer, but the western side is completely exposed with only a few small trees and shubs on the ground level. The two main rooms are both upstairs on the western side so we basically get blasted by the hot afternoon sun from 12-7pm and then it takes the house 10 hours to cool down as it is all made of brick and has no shading. I half considered letting loose some bamboo in the back yard as that stuff grows up to 30cm a day, but it was going to be too much hassle as it is a rental. Last night it was still 33 degrees upstairs and that was with a bit of a breeze blowing in.erin wrote:A 37 degree day isn't too bad...if we get a seabreeze in (as we're near the coast).

I went for a ride earlier this morning and although it was much cooler than yesterday the humidity was really getting to me. For some reason I have been getting an itchy rash on my chest and back after riding on hot and/or humid days, apparently it's some sort of allergic reaction, which is weird as I've never experienced it before and I lived up north for over 15 years where it is much hotter and more humid through the year than Perth.

Just your toes? Count yourself lucky. I usually have to find a lot more than that, usually about three or five times a trip.dino1969 wrote:left home at 5h30 this morning, by the time i made it in to work i had to search for my toes [ouch!] but it beats getting into work looking like a drowned rat after all the rain!Redbull wrote:Happy winter solstice everyone LOL
