and who couldn’t use a surplus of vim, vigor, and vitality?
this may be the outdoor solution to everything.
plus it can ‘hold a horse.’

I wanted to test the “it will hold a horse” claim, but I could not fit the horse through the bedroom window…π€£

That would have been useful when it got to 103 degrees here during the summer. But it would usually be too cold in Beetley for most of the year.
I checked online, and unfortunatley Korff no longer exists to make my sleeping porch. π
Best wishes, Pete.

My childhood house actually had a built-in sleeping porch. It was part of the house extending over the driveway with screened windows on three sides. Every evening when the sun started going down, I/we would go upstairs and open all the windows. The windows receded down into the wall – somehow – I recall. And by bedtime the room had cooled off. A little bit.
The room was also a playroom with dollhouses etc. It was a fairly large area. Then one year A/C appeared as window units. π

Well…I am on the first floor, so if I hang it from the front window I will be half-way down to the street. Hmm… not for my city flat…

I did have a friend who converted the balcony in his Condo into his bedroom and slept out there for an entire year, He had a night table with a lamp, a mountain of blankets for winter, and his two teenagers in the two bedrooms. The balcony above him provided the roof.

yes, one problem for me would be this one hangs in the air and imagine it crashing down, and the horse in his cozy barn laughing. tends to put a damper on my vim and vigor. but that’s just me.

Beth, a horse has a better chance of buying one of those than I do. If any addition to our house is needed, it won’t be a “quick fix” like this item. That doesn’t look like it would hold anyone for very long, and we don’t need people and horses dropping from higher altitudes. π
