What's AC?

It's this thing most people below 5000' have. Think of it as reverse heat.

It gets hot here, we use swamp coolers. Much cheaper to run than AC. Of course swamp coolers don't work where it is humid.

'Reverse heat' - love it, and I'll add 'Reverse humidity'.

It got all the way up to 71°F with 27% humidity today. Toss in about a 10 mph wind and who needs AC?

A little chilly, but nice.

I'll trade you my 88F and 54% humidity.

No thanks, I grew up in SW PA. I have never gone back since I came out here.

Be sure to extend the hardware cloth on the ground about 18" or so, a dig-proof apron.

Here's mine during construction. I used landscaping staples to pin it to the ground. The grass has grown through, you can't see it anymore.

This is ours under construction. We are putting cinder blocks all around the base. Adding on addition 2x8x10 on the side walls which will bring the bottom up to 24 inches with wire running under the wood. We may put another level of 1/4 “ hardware cloth up the sides. I ordered a red vinyl tarp for half of the coop so they have cover. (Red matches our other build and house roof.). We decided to run hardware cloth done the whole thing so we can role up the tarp during the hot FL spring summer and fall.

Care to share the recipe? My dad is gluten free and my mom can't find a good bread recipe for him

Yes!

I will be making this again, soon! It is soooo much better than what I made in my bread machine. I don't know if I'll ever use the machine again.

I'll just give up eating bread in the hottest part of the summer, I guess. That is one thing a bread machine has all over hand made bread: it doesn't heat up the kitchen.
