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

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.

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+

Jinx on the humidity. It's awful. Tropical rain forest.

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

Pretty gross when you add heat

Oh yeah, here the washing is literally still wet the next day!

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?
-
I need an office that looks/sounds like that... and is warm enough to use.

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.

Yeah not moving out of the country. Just need to move south.

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).
