    @bibatuga5501 2 месяца назад +2

    Hi! So, that window is finally coming together. It's been a bit of a struggle, to say the least. I'm not sure what kind of window you're looking for, but I'd recommend avoiding wood. Given the temperature fluctuations and humidity in Beira Baixa, wood just isn't the best option. Also, make sure you create the opening for the window before you order the window itself. And if you can find a standard-sized window, it'll be much cheaper than a custom one. Keep up the good work!💪

    • @PortugalfromScratch

      Thanks! I'll have a skylight up above my shower area which is on the opposite side from the door, but no window. It's the north side and the way the land behind it is, it wouldn't work. I'll put a vent on the bottom of that wall somewhere eventually, though.

      @avivat3010 2 месяца назад

      @@PortugalfromScratch Right! Now I remember you having mentioned the sky light. Your home is going to be beautiful!
      As Portugal is so dry and I'm guessing you're going to have your kitchen sink in front of the window, perhaps you can put a passive air conditioner of attached terra cotta tubes that sit in the sink when you complete your skylight? Water drips over them and the drying effect cools the air flowing through. I"m pretty sure you've heard of them. I'm guessing that you could also put a system in front of your door in the summer. All you need is a small dribble of water and stacked terra cotta tubes in a frame. The length of the tubes aligns with the air flow.
