WHY in the summer????

My landlord decided to have new siding put on the house. Great, it needs it badly.
But in the middle of July and summer?
The house is OLD, as in ceramic shingle siding old.
So everything has to be stripped off before putting the new siding.
That means dust, dangerous dust, lead paint too.
So all my windows are covered in plastic from the outside. In 90 degree heat.
Can't use the window AC units either, covered over.
Gonna be a LONG few days, maybe I'll sweat some weight off.

I have one fan which is enough as I also stay naked inside too and I love it. Five years, no AC at home

I am aroused by my own darkness and there is no cure.

I have CFS and one of the things I deal with is a low grade increase in my body temp. Really makes me feel the heat. Plus, sweating is the body burning energy, which causes fatigue in CFS sufferers. AC is my friend, LOL

Yeah that doesn't sound like the best planning.

Here in the UK they have issued our, (I believe), first ever Red
weather warning for Monday & Tuesday. 90f tomorrow, 106f
for Monday & Tuesday. I don't know, maybe in Florida their
going meh, just another summer day. The thing is we're not
used to it, I'm now where near the coast, at least 2 hours in
any direction, so no cool sea breezes & almost no one in the
UK has air con. I think sleeping for three nights is going to be
difficult.

At least I can keep my windows open, hope the work on your
place is done soon.

Ya, I don't envy you guys over there any more than I do the folks here in the Midwest and South. And it's not even August yet!!

I have lived with AC in Florida when young and dumb. I had a small clawfoot tub that I would sit in with a fan far enough away to be safe but close enough to give me a nice breeze. I would stay in until bedtime some nights. Good luck! Stay hydrated!


rondiri replies on 7/17/2022 10:22 am:
I'm old enough to remember blocks of ice sitting in front of fans, LOL
Thanks for the advice.

Yes, I expect you to keep yourself healthy and safe and giggles, giggles, to the very idea of sitting on a block of ice

I am aroused by my own darkness and there is no cure.


rondiri replies on 7/18/2022 7:07 am:
well, we didn't sit ON them.
The block sat in front of the fan, and we sat in the breeze of the fan. Kinda worked if you sat still and didn't want to do anything else.
