1. Don't waste water where you have other sources. Yes you can soak sheets etc. But what if you use wash instead that is already wet. It is still evaporating and if stacked in staggered layers properly can still block light/heat. Power cooling is adding a fan to laundry
2. Lots of earth tube, water cooling line options from soil possible without heat pumps
3. Black out curtains that are dark are a poor choice on sunny side windows. What faces the sun should be white or reflective. Best place for the shade is actually outside with air gap from building.
Need more hints. What do you want to weld? Heavy metal work?, lighter metal work?, Aluminum?, cast iron, hydraulic lines?, thin carbon steels?. Do you have 3 phase?, 220?, 110?, DC batteries.
One other piece of the puzzle here. These test rings have run nearly 3 full winters filled with water enduring free thaw behind a piece of glass leaned against the house. Have had some leakage at the joint but no identifiable cracking of the PEX. This is 1/2" oxygen barrier PEX B. One loop is oxygen barrier PEX with no protection and the other is the same thing gently roughed up with sand paper and painted with flat black bbq paint. The black loop in basically open air but behind the glass gets so hot it is seriously uncomfortable to hang onto and the orange loop gets almost as hot. Get all connections inside the building so they are not doing freeze thaw cycles outside. One loop had to be refilled once but quick pressure testing showed no cracks so pretty sure it wasn't a pipe failure but instead was a failure at the joint. Other loop is still 2/3 full of water 3 years later. Fairly sure the leakage is because of freeze thaw at the connector
Why oxygen barrier PEX. Because it is supposed to be highly UV resistant. Problem is they don't say if it protects the PEX under it or not. Have written to 3 PEX manufacturers asking the question with no response. The paint should add another layer of protection is the plan along with increased absorption. So far it seems to show the PEX is holding up. It is literally standing behind the exact pane of glass that will eventually be over it
I am doing Bocking 4 and have had incredible luck cutting flower stalks in the growing stage well before bloom but with the bud beginning to show. Typically get about a dozen per plant. I have tried the medium strength rooting compound and also just bare. Strip all the leaves off the stalk except just a few right near the bloom bud and plant so about 6 inches to nearly a foot of stalk to bury.. Have had a 100% starts with the rooting compound and probably 90% to 95% with the bare stem buried in good soil. If you do it in potting soil in pots will be solidly filling a 8 deep pot 4 inch square pot in 4 to 6 weeks and ready to transplant. And because it never blooms seem to get a bit more growth of main leaves so no lose of productivity.
Get someone who can send a flushable tracker down the line. The listening unit to track it on Amazon is$300 and the sonde to flush is $200. So you can buy all the tools for roughly $500. Reading it looks like the sonde is usually recovered at the tank by tracing and pumping it out and batteries changed and reused. So betting your local septic pumping people have the tools. It is more time, some risk of losing a $200 tool so it will come with a charge but likely reasonable.
I am somewhat face blind but horrible about names. Reasons are similar when you see the information on it. Often I manage putting the face with other data but still can't give the name. For example I might be able to tell they had a husky, worked as a welder, danced highland dance, had an interest in travel and give whole paragraphs of information about the person. But NO name. So I understand.
