It's just upstairs with a bonded leather couch and some inexpensive cabinets and such. Just keeping the place cool enough so the paint doesn't crack.
How exactly do you fall asleep when it's over 80 in your house? I understand if you're used to the temperature, by living outside of oregon.. Or Eastern Oregon... But not for NW oregon.
I could only get 2 hours of sleep because of how hot it was last night. Now I have to somehow stay awake for 8 hours of work and another 2 and half to three hours when I head home from Beaverton to Vancouver via 30 minutes of walking to the nearest Max station, getting on 2 Max trains and then two C-Tran/Vine buses before finally getting home at 7-7:30pm. Wish me luck that 5 hour energy's and coffee is enough to keep my eyes open.
Get the biggest towel you own wet and wring it out as much as possible and use it like a blanket and keep a fan on you. You'll freeze.
We set the thermostat to 78 or 75 overnight. The temps get into the high 90s overnight, so the A/C isn't working as hard (or cost) to cool those additional daytime 20 degrees.
I sleep with a fan 100% of the time. But the house still must be under 74 for me to fall asleep. Now my gf, when she stays over is trying to convince me to set my hvac unit to keep it under 70. I told her she better start paying me $$.
I use the ceiling fans all the time. Over the bed, over my desk, over the couch where we watch TV. Without them, it would be uncomfortable, for sure. When the A/C kicks on, a bunch of hot air comes out of the vents initially. The ducts in the attic heat up and heat up the air. Probably a good idea to consider more insulation.
good catch...on closer look, they don't have the spines or orange roe......guess it was just desire for uni sushi that blurred my vision...that stuff is the real viagra
Our house is shaded and is usually cold - it is very unusual for us to use the AC - but it is hot enough this week (around 90) to use the fans (it is around 80 inside). The problem this week is that there is humidity. The strange thing is that the cars are on the other side of our property - and it is very hot there - micro-climates at their best.
Our property is as dry as I've seen it in ages....arid...no humidity...almost like desert wind in the heat..very little humidity around here last few days
At night, I take my Air King 14" floor fan, put it on low, put it in the hallway pointing straight back towards my bedroom, and blow the cool air (my A/C is in a window in my living room near the farthest corner of the room) back there. Then I turn on the ceiling fan in my bedroom to circulate it around. Seems to work pretty good. I don't think that room gets above 70 degrees.....maybe 72 at the most. But the breeze from the two fans, especially the cool air blowing into the bedroom from the floor fan, is very chilly indeed.
I like it all when it comes to heat. I absulutely thrived in the humid Florida summer and I am writing this sitting in the grass in my backyard with some iced coffee in the beautiful 100 degree sun here in beautiful southern Oregon.
It's funny how different people are when it comes to temperatures. I much prefer colder temperatures, but my California-bred parents enjoy the warmer months. Especially my mother, although she's gotten more sensitive about it in her older age. And as far as I know, my father does very well in the heat, and he absolutely hates cold temperatures. Going on business trips to Denver in the winter is his idea of purgatory.
