We’ve had a lot of really sunny weather over the past 2 months.
This is the time of the year where we don’t get very much rain.
By the time we get to the late summer season, it rains almost every single afternoon. It gets so bad that the yard will start to flood and then the dogs track mud in the house when they come in from outside. Each fan of the rainy season, but this is just part of it. I intend to like it when it’s a little dryer outside like it is right now. I can actually go hiking at the nature preserve without worrying about mud there either. However, the heat right now is pretty unbearable. It gets so hot outside that I start to sweat considerably. And all the heat that bears down on me when I’m outside is bearing down on our house. It hits the roof and it bakes the entire home throughout the afternoon hours. That radiant heat from the sun will make the roof in the Attic considerably hot. Since the ventilation system for our HVAC system is located in the attic, the ductwork is always warm by default. We’re constantly putting cold air through dunk work that’s exposed to so much heat. Well there’s a little bit of insulation around the ductwork, it doesn’t account for the insane amount of heat that we get as well. I end up running the air conditioning system a lot just to keep the temperatures down in the house. Inevitably that means our energy bill goes up to account for all of the air conditioning use.
