I'm a bit tired from the hard push over the past six months to get this done, so I'll definitely consider that soon after a short break.

And I'd also think installing a controllable vent in the grille would make sense in your climate. Something like you see in air registers that's mechanically simple and remotely activated using a mechanical cable pull switch.<BR/><BR/>Maybe sealing the front compartment as much as possible. Then controlling airflow depending on the ambient temperature and the compartment temperature.georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472104193527977594noreply@blogger.com
