      It's supposed to be 36C here on Friday and Saturday... might change though as it's still a few days away. It was only 22C today.

        We have to keep stepping into the pool to stay cool.

        Good place to be. How's the humidity?

          Ewww, that is quite a bit worse than here. Is it dry there? Very humid here. Heat index is always pushing towards 40+

              Dry heat, so the washing is mostly dry in 10 minutes.

              Very humid here. Heat index is always pushing towards 40+

              Pretty gross when you add heat

                  Welcome to living in the jungle where nothing is ever dry. You get used to it.

                      How old is the house you are in? When was it built?

                          Don't know the details but between the 1500s and the 1700s. From the construction I am pretty sure it is on the latter side. Probably early 1700s. It is right downtown in the oldest European colonial city in the New World, so everything down here is ancient.

                            VERY easy to get large office space in this style down here with the pool, fountain and everything.

                                That looks and sounds very relaxing.

                                  I'm amazed at how well taken care of it is. It doesn't look like there is a lot of wear on the building from the pictures you've taken.

                                    A farmer friend of mine built a large wood burning stove outside his barn and uses ducking to pipe the heat into the building. It's amazing, he can keep that building at 70 degrees all winter long, and the wood use is surprising small for the amount of space he's heating.

                                      I love wood heat we have many people that heat their houses and barns at the same time doing the outside woodstove.

                                        That's a right good idea! I have an indoor woodburner... It's got an electric blower on it, so that it will heat that room and the back of the house once the fire gets hot enough. If the power goes out, we can still cook and huddle together in the red room (that's what we call it... all the carpet is a deep red color).

                                          That's one thing I don't have with the coal furnace. It doesn't work very well if there is no power. We have two old fireplaces upstairs that we can use if it comes down to it.

                                            I miss having a really wood stove. simple and reliable. We had one in the house I grew up in,.. cooked on it, lots of family time around it. It was in the basement so if the power went out, we would retreat there. it was a 4 bedroom house, my room was on the 3rd floor.

                                            Now, we have a ventless Propane fireplace upstairs, and some day I'll add one in the basement. if I could, I'd use an external wood burner and radiant floor heat...

                                            Next house... maybe.
