Use the fan in the upstairs window to exhaust hot air from the dome (secure it to the curtain wire using the attached rope).
Close the shades during the day to keep the sun from heating the dome. Push the circular shades in the round windows..
Close windows:
- When you leave for any time. Storms come quickly in the mountains.
- During high winds and dust storms;
- During rain
Evaporative Cooling Unit
- Add water into the fill hole ON THE SIDE of the unit. Water level is visible below fill.
- Do NOT put water into the top (this is for ice).
- Can be used without water as a fan.
- Best used with windows OPEN to ventilate the moist air
Push round shades into the portal windows. If helpful, use the fiberglass rod to push them in. The shades can be stored behind the desk.
Cupola Shade
During hot weather, you can pull the cupola shade into the cupola. Clip one end of the rope to the three support ropes, and feed the other end of the rope through the center hole. Then help raise the shade with one hand, and pull the center rope passing through the center hole, and pull the shade into place. This is a beta version! The shade is a little fragile.
