When I think about how long and dreary last winter was in Michigan--it helps me through the hotter days--at least there is sunshine!

110 window units are cheap and will cool a bedroom.

Repairs not coming until NEXT Wed!

Can someone send some snow? lol

My Mom used to blow her fans across pans of ice water. It really did help keep the air cooler.

Oh I hope you can go stay with friends or something. (I wonder how our ancestors survived without a/c?? They wore long sleeves and pants and long dresses each day....yikes.)

This is what I do . In a pince when it's super humid I will put my window AC unit in the bedroom and cool it down just before going to bed. In the heat of the day we would go tothe pool , movies , museums etc. Put the fans in the windows at night to cool the house down. The large oscilators are the best.

Then as soon as the sun starts coming up close the windows, close the blinds and curtains, keep the fans running. It will trap some of that cool air in. Good Luck stayin cool.

I remember as a child saying I would never have AC. In PA growing up it never seemed this warm to me. BUT in the summer I was at/in the lake most of the time! What did I know? ;)
