Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

You'd think so, but no... Well, not without a bunch of work. I'd have to open the outer windows.

I could do that and leave the internal doors closed while opening the outer doors and it'd suck the heat out overnight. It's just a bunch of work.

I'm just gonna get fucking A/C. I'll call on Monday and see what an expert says.

I was wondering about the opening of windows situation in an envelope house like you have. You have windows on the interior walls and then a little tunnel like 2 or 3 feet to the exterior wall with another window, is that right?

No tunnels. In some areas there's a broad shelf (on the 2nd floor) that connects the two - similar to the upper balcony doors.

To open the outside windows, I gotta fancy stick that hooks into hooks and then spins around to crank open the windows. It's a good couple of hours worth of fucking around to do it. It's a pretty big house.

In a month or so, the basement will be cool (that too holds heat) and I can circulate the water from my boiler system and get cool water moving through the house. That's all well and good - until it gets hot. Once it gets hot, that's not nearly as effective.

So I am thinking if you have a boiler system that you use to heat your home. Does that mean that you do not have the air ducts that a forced air system has? That will make it much more expensive to add central air conditioning
