[pugboy]

my problem is roof is complete hip, no side walls to bust a hole and mount a fan
a regular gable roof has 2 sides of walls where you could bust holes

1 - Do you have under ceiling on the outside?
2 - Are the building walls straight up to the roof?

[pugboy]

a hip roof is basically a 4 sided pyramid with the house box underneath, so none of the walls go up to the point of the roof.

there are ceiling eaves on the outside which has vents but those are pretty useless since a bucket help upside down with hot air cant vent even though the bottom is open

one option to try is to put a fan in on one side of the eaves, it would obviously blow down and seal off the vents there otherwise it would just be sucking in air from right next to it
and let it suck fresh air from eave vents on the far side or something.

You can use a Roof Mounted Attic Fan. They come wired, solar and passive.

Some welcoming showers this morning

Much needed! That heat yesterday was a rell killer!

[Rovin]

not that much rain here but i still glad for it, alot of heat absorbed into surfaces to still come out - need about a good steady 5-6hrs showers to cool all this concrete & asphalt around

thats why decades ago they used to build homes with alot of ventilation blocks for breeze to cool but with so many houses & tall buildings around now especially in d city d hot air not moving much ...

[killercow]

Very nice cool night. ACs finally getting a lil ease up.

[Rovin]

it suppose to have a "super moon" out tonight ...

[fokhan_96]

Rain and scattered thundershowers on the north of T&T currently

TS Lee forms, expected to stay clear of islands but strengthen to major hurricane

[redmanjp]

Hurricane Lee now is a CAT 5 Hurricane with 165mph sustained winds and 200mph gusts!

Thanks God it staying clear of the islands. It would literally wipe them away!
