Cheers!

The way the roof space is built is different. It's open to the outside world with rodent mesh along eave, open to peak down to other side. Which is then open through rodent mesh vents to the outside at peak. I guess it was built the Queenslander way, vent everything. Will applying insulation that is almost like it's outside cause moisture issues against plaster?

The bricks are very cold to touch so I looked it up and you can buy insulated panels with plaster on one side. Too expensive for us though, we have no available cash.

Aluminum doors, windows, louvres could use a good fix. The louvres need replacing first, it's a breeze when they are shut. No way to seal them. I think replacing the louvres with modern onesnis best as it's probably the worst issue. The biggest doors have curtains with pelmets, curtains are light-ish, nearly medium.

Yikes. What type of house?

I'm in Brisbane.

The good thing about the uninsulated floor is that in Summer it stays cool till after midday and then the walls and roof heat up significantly.

Came home to our place in Melbourne from two weeks away and the indoor temp was 2c.

Living in Perth now, it's early evening and the house is already 19c inside. It'll drop to 16c by midnight. Both houses are brick/tile.

Yes, I can run the reverse-cycle in a few rooms, and they'll be toasty. Yes, I have heaters for other rooms. We use those when necessary, but they're too expensive to run all winter.

In the morning. We heat with a small combustion stove at night then it leaks out, cold bricks, floor, louvres.

It stays cold most of the day.

We don't use aircon in Summer though, just fans in the arvo. Stays cool till about midday.
