I'm surrounded by buildings on most sides, except the east (it's got the streetlight
). So while the site gets a good dose of sun during the day, by late afternoon it's in the shade, so that will be helpful.
The afternoon winds tend to come from the east as well, so that will be useful for mid to late afternoon cooling/ventilation purposes.
Given the torrential downpours we can get here, I'm going to have to make it as weatherproof as a house.
And because I don't have the tools, the skills and barely the time, I'll have to hire people to get it done. Fun times ahead. :p
