Near 100 Degrees Saturday - !

Thank you both for the advice. The spindles that I am using are 2x2x36" that I cut to 31" to fit better on my porch. They are the colonial style spindles from Home Depot.

I have already sanded the 4x4" posts, especially where I screwed them into the ceiling and filled the holes with wood filler. The top rail has also been sanded smooth. I am using a B&D mouse sander with 220
grit to get into small places and sand the spindles.

I will be using Valspar paint which goes on like paste after I seal the wood with primer. Hopefully it will be done by the 4th, but the fog and drizzle is slowing things down :x

I figured I would restart an existing thread.

Last night after my jog I saw the haze come through and felt the humidity increase. There was a warm breeze that started around 8:30pm and after that it felt oppressive outside.

I went into the pool to be treated to 90 degree water, not very refreshing with the warm air. I leave the solar cover on during the day with it partially vented near the steps. It is a trade off. I will lose about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water a day with it off or get the warm water with it on. The pool is in full sun.

The owners manual says you can run the solar panel at night and it will cool the water. I was going to do that , but did not want to waste electricty.

It was like a tropical blast descending from the mountains..

My car thermometer read 100 degrees on the ride home yesterday. First time I've seen it at triple digits.

Not healthy.

Like walking through a warm, wet sponge. Jumped in teh shower right before going to bed to cool/rinse off, was damp and sweaty by the time I got into bed. One thing I do miss about living in the South- central AC.
