Heatwave rescue for Tiny house: Temporary roof insulation with pruning waste!

in ecoTrain4 years ago

Temporary roof insulation with pruning waste.
A.K.A killing two birds with one stone.

End result of the bloody hot and sweaty afternoon:

The sweltering hot roof before:

Temperature during this heatwave in the house, and it went even further up after that. Lasting another week, hence me thinking I'd better do something about it. Huff, puff:

The laurel bushes that were in need of pruning:

I am happy with the progress. The roof above my sleeping area is now covered for the most part, tomorow I'll do some more.
I'll let you know if it makes a difference.

Great idea. Heard it's been boiling over there!!!

Buena iniciativa, se ve mucho mejor, es una manera de sentirse mas fresco, gracias por compartir, te voto y te sigo.

Maybe you can grow plants on top of your roof for future hot times? Maybe a long term solution...
