For heat, we’re going to have to use the old wood stove method & we have access to wood. Our big problem is AC - my dad has health issues and if it’s over 80 degrees, he has trouble breathing and if it’s humid, it’s deadly for him ..... fans don’t cut it.
Yup, I’ll give you a referral on the pump!! ;-)
I have a fireplace too, and a small woodpile .. will just have to keep adding to it and then scrounge the countryside for deadfall if it comes to that.
Still can't believe we're even having to seriously discuss crap like this for any reason other than the occasional power outage !
Tuesday is like a waking nightmare .. just about the time you're thinking about 'normal' stuff, the reality of what's happened comes screaming in out of nowhere.
Angry doesn't even BEGIN to cover it, ya know ? !
Btw, you might wanna have look at this thread.
The title sounds off topic, but there are some really smart guys posting on it who might have some ideas for you re the AC situation for your dad.
I'm about to try to redneck an old lawn mower into a generator, and they haven't laughed at me yet or nothin' ;-)
Anyway, cheers, if such can still be had !
I had a brand new still in the box franklin stove stored at the family place only to find out a relative sold it. Never will forgive that one.
Is there a basement he could live in during the summer months? That would take advantage of natural cooling.
