actually, no. the air outside is noticeably cooler right now, so it makes sense to keep them closed for at least a few hours. but, given that the air is going to be trying to push the temperature down here lower than 20, i suspect they'll be open by the end of the night.

or i could leave the windows closed and let the heat come on.

i mean, that's what would actually happen. lol....

not any real fear it's going to hit 10-15. the heat will come on. but that's preposterous.

it would be good for demonstration, though.

the heat is set to 19. if i get to worst case during this week's cold snap, that's where it'll be for demonstration purposes.

i guess that really shows the contradiction, though. in order for it to be 20 upstairs, it's going to need to be less than 19 down here. but that's where i (quite reasonably) have the heat turned DOWN to for the summer. meaning the desired temperature upstairs is quite literally impossible to achieve with that hole in the floor.

and, i'm not above setting it to 21 in august, either.

i mean, i'm legally entitled to it.

to be clear: we're really both entitled to set the temperature in our respective units. of course. i don't begrudge the guy. i wish he had better control, too.

what we're seeing is why holes in the floor are not permitted by law. that's the problem...

i mean, what's going to happen right now is he's going to overheat while i'm freezing. the heat goes up, the coolants go down: he's cooling me while i'm heating him. we both lose. i happen to have entropy on my side, but it's really not good for either of us.

i'm convinced the hole gets patched this week....

back to constructing this sound collage, now.
