Well, I feel pretty good.  Last night was the first night in...hmm, about five days that I've had more than 4 hours of sleep a night due to the flat I'm in being ungodly hot and without air-con.

Even with a window open, fan on 24/7 and cold showers before bed, it's still disturbingly warm in here...enough that I sweat just laying in bed.

Maintenance, of course, swear there isn't a problem.
I'd go old-school, attach a hose to best faucet and spray outside of building and street before sleep.  Catching vegetation also helps SA evaporation.  Yay science!

Yeah I could totally see that working in London, makes perfect sense.  :roll:

Yeah, pretty much.  Not to mention the shops on either side of the road, or only being able to put a hose through the main door (which is used by over 150 students, cleaning staff, maintenance staff and electricians every day) etc etc.

In other news, I'm modding Skyrim to get rid of spiders.  Because fuck spiders the size of horses.  There is some shit I will not stand for.  Seriously, someone has already done this for the base game, I'm just expanding his technique to various quest and location mods which, for reasons I cannot fathom, add giant fucking spiders back in.

Instead, everyone will have to fight bears.  Because that's fair.  Bears can kill dragons, so it's hardly making things easier.

Moving forward, I still think an evaporative system, such as a swamp cooler, may work.  The only requirement would be the opening of a window, and maybe decently low levels of atmospheric humidity, in principle.  Then again, maybe I'm simply over-sensitive to heat because I run a little hot, or something, whatever.  I'm not really feeling it anyway.

You Sir!

That's not far off what I've been doing.  Well, I've been drinking the ice to cool my body temperature before sleep...but close enough.

And also not a bad idea.  Local off-licence sells bags of ice.

Junkenstein

It really does work well. I've walked into many site cabins with a couple of bags of ice and a fan in warm summers and been treated like jesus.

See, LuciferX?  This is actually useful advice.

Admittedly, I'll have to find some containers for said ice, and use my bedside table to place the ice on, but it doesn't involve hosing down a building of 200+ people, that I don't own.
