Earth Air Tunnel
an Earth Air Tunnel (EAT) system, a passive cooling and ventilation technique that utilizes underground pipes to regulate indoor temperatures. Hot air at 35°C is drawn into a wind tower or wind catcher, where it passes through an underground pipe system at a minimum depth of 2 meters. As the air moves through the tunnel, the earth’s stable temperature cools it to 25°C, providing natural air conditioning. The cooled air is then distributed into the house, creating a comfortable indoor climate. Warm air inside the home is expelled through vents, maintaining continuous airflow and preventing heat buildup. This system is energy-efficient, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling methods like air conditioning. It is particularly effective in hot climates, offering sustainable temperature regulation with minimal energy consumption.

Just save those empty toilet paper rolls and, after you have enough, place a bunch of them in a big box. Grab your cords and roll them up, then insert them into an empty toilet paper roll.
Know Your Limits
With this hack, you’ll be able to park in your garage without pulling forward too far as it can often happen. Just grab a tennis ball and hang it on the ceiling by using a piece of twine. Put it in a place where the ball will hit your car’s front windshield, warning you that it’s time to stop before you hit something.

Overhead Storage Bins
With this hack, you’ll be able to store all the items you want in your garage while keeping them out of the way. Just grab some wooden l-beams and a couple of storage containers that have a lip around the edge. Then, simply install the l-beams in a way that leaves enough space for the containers to fit. Afterwards, slide the lipped containers into the l-beams and you’re ready to store.
