Weekly letter from EliA weekly letter of cheap weekend builds for cooling, heating and outage backup, each one built, stress-tested and priced by Eli against the electric bill.
Passive cooling and heating tricks Eli builds, then tests against the electric bill.
You see the real dollar cost of parts before you pick up a tool.
Setups meant to keep rooms bearable when the power's out and the thermostat's dead.
No smoke: the full guide, the exact steps, the fix — every week.
Read the full issue →Eli builds an old-fashioned night-air cooling setup from hardware-store parts, prices every piece, and runs it through a hot spell to see what it does to the electric bill.
You're not paying for 'content' (that's everywhere and half-wrong). You're paying for the tested way, the exact steps, every week — and for a real answer when you get stuck.

“I used to leave the thermostat cranked up and still dread opening the electric bill. What I like here is that Eli shows the price of every part, and the build going wrong before it goes right.”

“The last outage had me walking the house with a flashlight, waiting on an AC that wasn't coming back. These letters gave me weekend projects that don't lean on the grid or a new unit.”
