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.

That's a good breakdown, do you happen to know when that property was constructed? I'd imagine it'll be more expensive now
we moved into the house nov 1st

to fence in ( just cement poles, barbed wire) will set ya back around $800

Looks neat, But really not designed for the hot climate.. small windows with little to no natural ventilation/airflow.
It hopefully has airconditiong? as it looks like it would be very hot tbh..

I think more windows makes a house more hot, not less, assuming they are glazed.

Loads of cheaper houses have single brick walls. Doubling it makes a major difference, so do higher ceilings.

double bricked, 2.8 m dropped ceilings
Gables ( as u can see) help with keeping the attic cooler
great air flow thru the house

But ... The real test will be in early May.

The stupid barangs in Thailand build McMansions with small windows, no eaves and little covered outdoor areas. Just air conditioned ovens.
Build with cavity walls or Australian type concrete blocks. Have huge eaves all around and full height louvred windows like a Darwin house or a Queenslander. Insulate under the steel roof and on top of ceilings.
Align the house correctly to the prevailing wind. I live in a tiny old timber house in Cairns with louvres everywhere. A bit hot in the hot season but cold at night with breezes and fans.
