November 20. Climate change? Between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius during the day.
Indeed, Surin in the North-East (Isaan) region in Thailand is a warm place on our earth. Reason why we want to equip our, for Thailand 'strange', buildings with good isolation to keep it a bit cool and to save energy (and our planet) when we have guests to visit and use the aircon.
So, last week we build our first pyramid fridge with the 'Stay Cool' isolation blankets. A 7.5 cm thick glass fiber isolation. For now we only temporarily fixed it with galvanized metal wires. A warm job wearing gloves, head and nose mouth protection most of the time.
In a couple of weeks, installing the Shera planks for the ceiling cover, we will fix it permanent to reach the best possible isolation value.
We also gave the concrete floor a special primer as well as one of the walls. This primer need to support next weeks equalizing of the floor and the gluing of special carpet on the wall to get more comfort (inside sound absorption).
This afternoon we checked the aircon unit. It creates quickly a nice fresh temperature and the isolation already is working great.
Last Tuesday evening, after a week, we could pick up our Kia truck again with all the breaks fixed. It caused only short happiness. Wednesday morning, after our first short trip bringing garbage to the nearby recycling center, it was not willing to start anymore. So, at the moment it is still at the garage the second time this month for days.
Dat ziet er goed uit.
ReplyDeleteDe isolatie zal best wel goed werken.
