As you can see, Jim has completely lost his mind and decided to dress for summer even though it is -9C outside (-18C with wind chill). He is painting the ceiling in the sunroom and although it is still February and winter outside, it is a balmy +28C in there and will get much warmer as afternoon arrives.We were worried that, with all the windows in that room, it would be cold...nothing has prepared us for the amount of heat created by the winter sun that remains in the southern sky all day and beats in the east windows in the morning, south windows in the afternoon and west windows in the evening. We are contemplating creating a fan system that will draw the warm air off and force it down into the basement. In summer, the sun spends the majority of the day over the roof of the house so the temperature isn't as extreme as in the winter.
There is just something seriously wrong with this picture......up a ladder, in Edmonton, in the winter, with no shirt and no pants, wearing just a smile....sick, just plain sick!
ReplyDeleteNow I new Jim and Kathleen were a bit careful with their money, but isn't this a bit of a sorry substitute for a winter holiday in the sunny South? ;^)
ReplyDeleteMan am I ever impressed with what you've done in the sun room! Great job.
