I highly recommend that you buy a window AC unit. We bought one for our small townhouse and just pop it in at the beginning of the summer. It's a breeze to do. They are priced very reasonably these days. I think ours cost about $160 here in the States. It's amazing how well they work, and you will have a place to be comfortable in your home. Look for one on sale at the end of the summer if not before!

Having great sympathy for you right now! I live in the NW corner of Wash. state and we've had our own heat wave. I do.not.like.HEAT!!! 75-80 is my max and please don't throw any humidity in there!!! But humid it has been. low 90's with humidity and I get nothing...NOTHING done. I lay in front of the fan and pray for rain!

We had some cross breeze issues until we opened some walls and added more windows. Makes a huge difference. Don't know how handy you and your hubby are, but mine has been replacing windows in his sisters house and it takes less than a day (not including painting, trim, etc.). Not very expensive and a huge difference.

Stay cool!!!

Thanks, we're trying. ;)

We pretty much decided to do the same thing - to just deal with it. Until last night when we could not get to sleep because it was soooo hooooot.

We discussed the options. Window air conditioner? Stand-up air conditioner? Central air?

Sigh. There are so many pretty things to buy besides air. ;)

Woahhhhhhhhhhh. That's all I have to say about...

o lord!!! i can sympathize! we live in northeast ohio and also have no air! my husband and i both grew up with no ac and just deal with it, but some days..... i look forward to work to be in the air :) we are hoping for a good tax return next year- since my husband is an HVAC man, we can get a good discount and a hottie to install it ;)

Yikes!!! I live in Texas and my air is running 10 months out of the year! After hurricane Ike 5 years ago, we bought a cheap window unit to keep us cool for the 11 days of no power. Of course we had to use a small generator to run it! Hang in there.
