Seconded. Lighting an open flame in an (partially) enclosed room without proper exhausting(a chimney and fire brick) is stupid and downright dangerous. Just dont. Sure it night be OK most of the time... Until the time it isn't and you burn (hopefully only your) place down (hopefully with you not in the flames). Also I guarantee you are poisoning yourself with carbon monoxide

The thing is that food colouring is the usual medium used by potion makers with this exact recipe. Some use paint but usually to keep the liquid transparent instead of opaque, most paints like acrylic paint don’t really work. And all the other colours aside white work and hold up literal years.

So I’m not sure about your explanation if the rest of it has always worked. But I guess I can try other stuff

In the summer, all bottom-floor vents are supposed to be closed off (or just close off the entire trunk that feeds the downstairs vents directly.) This will send the cold air to the upper floors first.

A fan will simply pull the hot air out of your room, pulling cooler air from the rest of the house into it. It will work, but perhaps not that fast or that well.

Just keep in mind there may be rules for number of outlets needed for every linear foot of usable wall space. Depending where you live.

You could also extend the EMT piping using couplers and a pull through 90. Your conductor may not reach though.

Remove drain and thouroughly clean it. Check to see how bad rust is. Clean off rust and loose enamel. Apply rust converter to rusty metal (phosphoric acid) and let it do its job. Wipe than rinse off when done and dry completely. Rusted area shound now be black/gray. Apply an epoxy resin based enamel and let it cure. Apply silicone around the drain pipe and reinstall drain. This should be a long term fix. 😁❤

Making the plumbing bigger doesn't help if the well pump can't maintain the water flow necessary for the sprinkler.

Same goes for the filters too.

Add up the GPM of all the sprinklers you plan on running at the same time and see if the filter and pump can supply that water.
