yeah I cant do them @StuF  dont even like the smell .. um i do monster like once a year lol I got a cheap nespresso pod machine that goes alright

@TAB yeah I had enough.  I used to go to a cafe or library on hot days but now with covid restrictions they may be shut down over summer.

The man said my house will still be too hot.  Will wait a few months then go with either "home clearance" or "appliances online" They have Zip Pay you pay only $20 a fortnight with these outlets no interest. So its doable.

So I'll have aircon for my room and livingroom. 

Getting sick of home ownership expenses

even one room can be enough, @Former-Member  its best to keeps windows shaded, doors shut, get proper insulation in ceiling. I rent. will never be able to buy, last time tried, they said had to prove I could pay a mortgage that was $100 a week less than rent then they never called back

[Former-Member]

@TAB yes its hard.  I used to rent until I got this place

Had a environmental consultant come out to my home through a community development initiative of the Uniting Church many years ago and they gave me similar tips you gave which I still follow.

when I was a kid we'd sleep outside if it was too hot at night @Former-Member  lol  Saw a tricky version of double glazing once when overseas .. was a window flush with outside of ok thick wall, then a gap, then another window level with inside wall. 

[Former-Member]

Interesting @TAB. Yes the weather was certainly cooler when we were kids, you could go outside in the night air to cool off.

I remember parents saying it was hotter in 50s and early 60s than late 60s @Former-Member  we had a second hand portable evap a/c got given. kids would get it to go to sleep then parents would take it back to their room
