What a scorcher of a day in Perth, 12pm and we've already topped 38C should easily make it into the 40's now, dont think yesterdays max was reached till between 4 and 5pm so the mercury's got some way to go yet.

Dont forget if you go out, makes sure you run, otherwise your shoes will melt to the concrete and you'll get stuck

Yup, bloody hot!
Just hit 40ºC, but there's a major thunderstorm forecast for this afternoon and tonight! Rain tomorrow as well.

Not good for me though.
We're ssupposed to be painting one of our pools this week, but need 3 dry days in a row to do it, so I'm stuck in catching up with admin stuff on the computer!
Thank God for aircon!!!

walla

aye, it's hot alright, luckily my office has ice cold air con, beats ice cold conditions any day

Does it help if you watch the winter olympics? brrr!
mind over matter

Watching that just makes me jealous! I'm a bit partial to some decent skiing and Perth isnt exactly the ideal place to hit the slopes from

Im in Subiaco at the moment and it looks like that storms moving in off the hills over the city, so the temps probably on it way down now, fingers crossed it will actually rain (sorry Scossie) and it will clear the air so its not a muggy night.

PS: When you paint a pool (an existing not a new one) do you pump the water out into some sort of holding tank/vehicle and then pump it back once the paints dry? I'll need mine doing in the next few years (but the thought of emptying out about a 100,000 litres of water and paying to fill it back up doesnt exactly enthuse me )

Scossie

We do pool renovations as well, (so remember to keep us in mind)!

The water is just pumped into the storm water system.
It's a common misconception that you'll be charged an arm and a leg by the water company to refill a pool.

For yours, I'd say about $40.

Cheers, I'll let you know in a few years when we decide to get it done (all though you'll probably of made your millions and be retired by then ), just a few bubbles in the paint work in the shallow end on the wall at present.

Its still a bloody waste of water though !
Dont you have to get approval from Water corp to empty/refill it?

I bet your right with the old misconception, I would of thought it would be a lot more than that, I wonder if there some side line there you could get into where you get one of those sort of miny tankers where you pump the water into (like a septic tank one) and then put it back after, charge people a couple of hundred bucks for it, and I bet most would go for it, would save you having to re "chemicalise" the pool too.
