You just have to be zen about it and accept that you're going to be a sweaty mess.Quote:

Yup I’ve spent time in houses with that setup, works pretty well.
Always wanted one... but have no attic.Quote:

Some records were set yesterday up here adjacent to (and in) the North Country portion of teh Upstates.
You can get a KingAir window model that will move a couple thousand CFM.Quote:

Been in the 90s or above for a week now and we still have another week to go. Looking forward to the turn but also careful what I wish for.
No A/C this summer... unless something really unusual happens in the next couple weeks.
I think that the new roof may be keeping things a bit cooler than the old one, as the roofing company said it would.
The new skylights with solar shades *definitely* helped.
If your area is like ours it has been a cooler summer and it's only in the last four or five days that I finally broke down to use the AC. Today's supposed to be hot and humid so I'm definitely using it. My electric bill during this period of time is a big oneQuote:

Pretty sure Denver is not like yours. It has not been a particularly cool summer - but window/shade management has allowed us to forgo A/C usage.Quote:

We are about 18° cooler than you KQ and I can't deal with it. AC will be running until almost the end of September.

I rarely turn it off these days. Not only is it hot but the air is full of dust and chaff from harvest. We need a good rain.Quote:
