My sewing room is in the basement where it's cool, so I've been spending lots of time there. It's been so hot this summer, we've hardly used our deck. There is no shade, and my DH says putting up a latticed roof over it wouldn't really help. I say let's at least try! :cry: This weekend is supposed to be cooler, I hope they're right. I work nights in a factory, it's supposed to be air conditioned, but I think they turn it off or up (down?) when the office people leave. I'm ready for 70's!
