I so feel for you. My AC went about a month ago and I was suffering so I didn't stay home. HeHe BUT price to fix was gut wrenching. :(
|
Our natural A.C kicked on yesterday around here when the fog rolled in. (San Fransisco Bay Area). The more you go inland the higher the temps go.
|
Open the windows at night or early morning when it is cooler. get all the fans going and cool the house off as much as possible. 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.
|
If I had any cool weather I would certainly share with you, unfortunately, its pretty hot here too.
|
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.
|
Oh..I would..but I'm in Arizona..you wouldn't want my help..lol.. Hope it gets fixed for you soon !!
|
Sorry I don't have any cool air here but try to stay as comfortable as you can.
|
Sorry about your woes-but but be careful what you wish for. . .
|
that happended last month several things went out on the blink at our house.
Bummer :thumbdown: |

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.

Me i would get a cheap window unit just for the bed room and camp out there... (cheaper then staying in a hotel, which would be my other opt)
I can't help with the cooler weather either... 730 it was already 82 and humid! Like someone else said keep all the blinds, shades closed, doors closed, Keeping the sun out will help a bit.... |
QuiltingGrannie - you have my sympathy. about half of the neighborhood lost electricity yesterday morning, but luckily it was back on when I got home.
I can take the heat, but please send rain! |
We used to put a large chunk of ice in a bucket in from of the fan and it sent cool air as we slept. It works and at least allows some sleep time. Hang in there.
|
Take a hot water bottle and put in ice cold water lay it at the end of the bed on a towel. If you can keep your neck and feet cool you will sleep better. I pray that they will be able to get to very soon. I wear a cool tie around my neck it does help, Huddy keep the air at 84.
|
Why would anyone suffer through being so miserable in the heat when window units are so inexpensive? I don't understand that.
