Hot Enough For Ya?

Let me say it now: Enjoy the temperature for the rest of the day. Why? Brace yourselves. Because this weekend it's only going to get hotter!

Source: http://www.usairnet.com/weather/forecast/local/?pands=91723&Submit=Go&daysonly=2&maxdays=7 Last access 7/10/09 - I plugged in the address of the shop to see what the bad news was.
So, bear with me as I offer some suggestions:

1. Crank up the AC (it hurts less when it's efficient/new and kind to the wallet) and stay INDOORS! If you have a room AC close off the one room so that the one space gets as cool as it possibly can (when I was little we thumb tacked a bed sheet to the door jamb and that did the trick).
2. If you don't have AC, or it's not working correctly - find cooler ground. That means venture towards the coast in hopes of catching a breeze.
3. Use fans - there are some interesting techniques of how to use ice water, an aquarium pump and some tubing to make your own air conditioner - so if you're crafty you might give it a go. If not - BE CAREFUL and please remember that water & electricity aren't friendly together. http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-air-conditioner/
4. Don't make the house hot - if that means BBQ, so be it. Avoid using the stove, the oven, the dryer, the hairdryer, the dishwasher...you know ANYTHING that uses hot water. It will just add to the indoor condensation of the house and you will feel more humidity - and therefore more HOT!
5. Use cold water where necessary. (lol) Studies have shown that if you run cold water over your pulse points it can make you feel cooler.

Those are the basics - enjoy your perfect summer weekend. Enjoy the heat, or staying out of it depending on your disposition. Best of Luck. Oh, and if you are planning on calling for an air conditioning service call don't wait until the last minute...We are busy this time of year, and want to get out to you before you're all melted on the couch.

(if upgrading isn't in the budget, here are some low-cost tips to stay cool:)

• Use your blinds/curtains. Keep them closed during the day (to block the heat)
• Turn the air on early (before it gets hot).
• Use fans to decrease the humidity in your home.
• Keep your garage door closed.
• Use your programmable thermostat (it takes less energy to maintain a temperature than to try and actually get your house cooled to 60 degrees)
