I remember my myLot posts in the past years has been about me complaining about our dripping roof. But since we moved it is a relief that we no longer have that problem. Sigh of relief.
But then our place is hot during summer; I feel so uncomfortable. I am not a fan of airconditioning because it feels artificial. And also the sink is always clogged.
I know there is no perfect circumstance so I just make do with what we have.

That is a good idea. Does it really work?

@Butterfingers Oh the humidity here is horrible 80%. Climate change is crazy. Sometimes I think it is not good to have children these days because the future is seems so bad.

@yoalldudes It may not work if humidity is too high

Good thing you have found a better house to live in. Having a leaky roof is just annoying. I think the clogged drainage can be corrected by buying those decloggers or you can hire a plumber to clean them.
Weather is just so unpredictable these days there are days when it is hot in the morning and rains in the afternoon which makes it hotter and more humid.

@yoalldudes with the storm brewing right now the temperature is way much better now. Rain has been pouring all day yesterday.

If I have to choose definitely we are better off. We have hired plumbers several times but the problem persists.
Humidity is awful. I hope the following years will be La Nina

Oh I love our AC. It is a life saver. But to hang out the entire day I need nature which reminds me I need to plant a tree in our lot.

Get some drain cleaner to unclog the sink or take it part and see if something is caught in the pee trap.
