Re- inventing the wheel
The story of my life
The latest
I have a fan blowing across the top of the stairwell. In our house, open stairwell plan, I figure the hot air freely rises from the basement but more importantly, the cool air sinks down the stairwell.
While in Las Vegas, I noted that the entrances to many casinos have an air curtain to separate the cold air inside the casino from the hot air outside.
I'm hoping that the moving air caused by the fan will do the same job of ' curtaining ' the stairwell.
A life hack
The day will be hot and humid, the humidex will be 112 F
or so.
In real life, accidents happen. I watched a segment on a reality show when a dryer catches fire in a mobile home. I did a YouTube search and found ' clean your dryer '. The guy in the video had a dryer that was leaving clothes damp after a full cycle. He takes the back cover off the dryer. He basically finds a diaper made of lint inside the the blower cavity.
I thought OK better safe then sorry. We vacuum the lint trap after every cycle.
Well, I found 1/2 a diaper of lint in the blower cavity.
Really ! Our dryer was a blink away from causing a fire or lousy drying.
CLEAN YOUR BLOWER assembly !!
