Traditional houses from the 70s are usually a basement and the house upstairs.
Basement is often half or totally underground.
Then the wall are made with cinder blocks, empty air and bricks.
There is chimney (not sure the term in English), so you can heat with wood, but most of the time there is central heating with Gaz or Fuel to replace or in complement.
How is it in your country ?
Hotter inside than outside must be a nightmare especially to sleep.
I manage to keep temperature around 23/24 during summer and exceptionality 26/27 during heat wave. But I don't have AC.
It's a bit more difficult on winter when the max temperature of the day is 1-2 degrees and there is no sun. Radiators need work frequently to keep 18 degrees.
I wish we would have more sunny winter days.
It's a house from the early 70s in France.
There was almost no insulation. First rules to improve that started around 1974.
How does it work in Australia? Does gouv try to help people to improve that in old houses?
I guess it would be great for summer as I think it's pretty warm there.
Some gardening before it starts to rain.
Then we'll continue to watch Carnival Row with my gf.
Rest of the time playing video games and reading.
Oh and call my dad on sunday for the father's days.
I set temp to 18C when at home during the day, and 16/17C when away or night.
Bad insulation (empty air..), so if I lower too much it take hours to heat up again.
The series The accursed kings is a great choice!
I'm also reading this with my girlfriend and we are really enjoying it.
We are also in book 4, and impatient to read more!
What was missing/limiting you in the repo ?
Yes, it's very stable.
A new release is coming in the next weeks/months, maybe a good opportunity to try it again.
I'm using a HTC U11 life.
I had to change the front camera.
And battery is draining quite fast now.
I'm using Mageia at home.
I like its stability, and ease to do almost anything with CCM.
Also Raspbian on a raspberry.
When I'm a bit lazy my go to dish is pasta with gruyere cheese.
If no cheese left, some rice with leftover from fridge.
Hahaha yeah, but in winter the walls can get really cold. In summer it keep the house cool.
Oh wood is known to be a good natural insulation!
Flat roof? It's rarely raining? You never have violent rain?
So it's a construction in wood from the 50s? Wow. Does it age well? Does it require a lot of maintenance?
I'm wondering about asbestos from the 50s, here if it's starting to crumble it's extremely expensive to get rid of it.
Here roof is around 40-45 degree incline, and composed of oak frame also. And no asbestos I tried to avoid that at all cost. It was used a lot in the 70s and early 80s.
