wilting in KC
Posted by: docsheri <docsheri@...>
KC....MISSOURI?????????
Me, too. It is 90 in the house and I cannot seem to get it out. I have
been getting up at 5am. and opening the house. Then turning on a large air
mover.... I have only had the fan on high one time and it reached completely
across the cultural hall at church....very strong.
But I still cannot get it cooler. However the lower humidity does help. I
have been leaving the windows open during the day. There is a window a.c.
in the bedroom but the house is too loose to get chilled in there. But it
does help at night. Need a fan, too......
Can't keep the door closed as the house is somewhat secluded. When we had
the loose dog he patrolled at night and you could leave the front door open.
To leave it open you have to take the house off the alarm system.......
Hot summer..but it will end........and I am not on the street living in a
box....
