If I didn't have the AC on I'd be the biggest witch of the Midwest!!! Ugh, we have really hot, humid summers. I don't care what the bill is each month. It's so worth it.
I'm only about 30 miles from Utica...it's not the money at all...either the initial cost or the monthly bill..it's a fear that I will stay inside on nice days...I love my gardens, and "sort of" acclimate..and just soldier on. We've only had about 2 weeks total of unbearable days...but I am so afraid that if I get AC, I'll just more and more opt for the comfort!
