Re: Building a provincial house
unbelievable..I have rented such houses a few times and they were all scorching hot in the afternoons- Fan(s) were running most of the time when at home.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 8:29 am no air, not hot at all, plenty of wind thru back door and windows>
wife wakes up each morning needing to put on a sweater
seldom even need fans in daytime

Re: Building a provincial house
I think more windows makes a house more hot, not less, assuming they are glazed.Grand Barong wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 10:31 pmLooks neat, But really not designed for the hot climate.. small windows with little to no natural ventilation/airflow.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 9:54 pmwe moved into the house nov 1stThat's a good breakdown, do you happen to know when that property was constructed? I'd imagine it'll be more expensive now
to fence in ( just cement poles, barbed wire) will set ya back around $800
It hopefully has airconditiong? as it looks like it would be very hot tbh..

Loads of cheaper houses have single brick walls. Doubling it makes a major difference, so do higher ceilings.truffledog wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 4:35 pmunbelievable..I have rented such houses a few times and they were all scorching hot in the afternoons- Fan(s) were running most of the time when at home.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 8:29 am no air, not hot at all, plenty of wind thru back door and windows>

Gables ( as u can see) help with keeping the attic cooler
great air flow thru the house
