I hear ya! Last year I worked from home the entire summer without AC and it was fine. This year I haven't been at home that much because of my job and yet it was torture without AC. The final straw was when my son had a huge fever of 104.6 in the middle of a heat wave and we couldn't cool him down. We had to spend our time in the car to get AC! So that was it; we got the central air unit last weekend and I'm soooo happy!!!! I'm so glad my DH finally gave in, LOL. Ah, so comfortable.
Talk to you later,
I have 2 window units. But I'm determined to not use them this year ( they're still in the shed). I'm a bit of a freak about the over consumption of hydro and resources.
It's so hot in my room (it's in the attic, so it's easily 10 degrees hotter up there than outside) that we've moved our mattress into the living room- right below the ceiling fan, in the middle of a cross breeze from the windows. I think the worst of it's almost over, I'm going to enjoy not having to move my mattress out of the way every morning :D
girl i dont know how you did it.........congrats
now you can chill...lol
smiles
janetc
without A/C. You will learn to be as dependant as I. :D
Lucky you! I'm happy for you too.
There are days I really wish we had AC. For those extreme days alone, it would be SO WORTH IT!
I am very happy for you. I am sure you will never be able to go without again.
This is the first time we have had A/C and i don't know how we made it without. Never again.
got to love air conditioning! Wouldn't live without it, especially in the city. Crank it up and enjoy!!!
