92 Degrees

Yep. 92 degrees in the house. Got the ceiling fans going and the windows all open. "Modern" home construction is definitely not suited to sub-tropical climates... I'm wishing I had this house right about now! That pretty much resembles my workshop, which I'm camped out in today. Got the windows and doors all open, and it's a lot more comfortable in there than in the house. I might just roll out the awning on the escape pod and break out a camp chair. That, some tunes, and a cold brew sounds mighty fine.

On the plus side, the kids are outside playing in the garden hose. No Disney Channel on the boob toob. Imagine that...

I feel your pain two years ago my A/C went out on the hottest day of the year it was 109* and the next day it was 110* and our house at that time was lower than all the others around us so we never got any of the wind, but even if we did get some of the wind who would want 109* or 110* wind? It was just luck is was just the motor and only cost $195

We didn't have air conditioning in our house when I was growing up. My dad said it would "build our constitution". And yet somehow we survived. No air conditioning until 1980 something in our house. Enjoy your cold one & some tunes and as my dad would say "It will build your constitution".

Burlap bags soaked in cool water and a couple of buckets in front or back of the fan. Homemade swamp cooler.

calm your nerves with the thought of a lower electric bill, drink a few cold brews, stick your feet into a tub of ice water...consider yourself a lucky sob...and count the blessings you do still have going for you...cause you could lose it all tomorrow and the sun will still rise and set.

Nebraska, we're still kickin'. Our first house only had a window unit, but it was big enough to cool all whopping 500 square feet of it...

North, too late : )

Anon 9:38, too bad the humidity is close to 100%...

Anon 9:45, no worries on my end...
