ATSU!

Jul 12, 2007 09:09

Last night, I was roasting. Joel, being energy efficient and also a salamandar, normally has the house set to 84 degrees. That's right, 84 degrees. If it gets hotter than 84 degrees, the air conditioner will turn on to make it 84 degrees. If it gets cooler than 84 degrees, well, I guess nothing happens, but in Georgia, in summer, that's not all ( Read more... )

work, home, stuff

We have 2 ceiling fans in our bedroom, (it's a 14x20 room, so it needs more than one..) but we never used them. Why?

My husband failed to balance them properly when he installed them 6 years ago and they wobble and make us fear for our lives.

Could he fix it? Oh sure. Will he? Probably never.

::laughs:: Yea, see, I'd have a friend of ours install it, and if it wobbled, he'd be coming back and fixing it, rightquick. XD

Well, in hubby's defense, where it's installed he has to belly crawl to get to in the scary attic, so I can kind of understand why he's not rushing up there...

... you have to go above the fan to install it? How is that possible in most places where fans are?

84? 84?!

Jesus Christ, I'd be dead. I can barely tolerate anything over 75. I was dying when the A/C broke and the temp in the house rose to 80.

Also, at 75, I have the fan in my room constantly on.

::laughs:: Yea, well, we lower it when we're having guests... XD

It is always freezing in my office! I would most definitely wear more skirts otherwise.

Ditto and ditto, lovely!

Bah, we need to plan to have lunch together again some time soon. XD

holy heat wave Batman!

They've always been like that. Why do you think we always hung out in the basement, or outside? It was cooler.

Personally, I start to feel pretty warm at about 75-76 and are looking for some air at that point. My ceiling fan doesn't turn off.

As unfounded as it is, my initial thought when you said you had a friend over for dinner, and now there is spagetti sauce, was - "Lander?"

::laughs:: Yea, I think Barbara kind of did raise him to be a salamander. But she did it because she was saving money. Joel does it because he's comfortable. Then again, he was raised like that, so of course it would be comfortable. That, and he has no body fat, so... no natural body heat. XD

Well no worries. When you visit, we'll probably have the temp somewhere at 74-76, with the fan in the livingroom running.

::laughs:: Right in one. I'm peeved, livid really, since the poster is so rare, but I can hardly honestly blame him, even though I told him to be careful. I did leave the posters there after all, and I did feed him the spaghetti. I should've known better. ^^; In a sense, I did. I cleared the room at the kitchen table so he could eat there because I didn't want spaghetti on my carpet. I... think I would've preferred it on the carpet to being on the looking-like-it's-going-to-be-impossible-to-replace poster.
