Did as much yard work as I could last night between 7:30 and sundown, finished the rest this morning before 9:30am. It's been mid to high 90's the last couple days, and will be there again today through at least Tuesday. I just work till I get tired, then I quit. My sister wound up in the ER in St. Louis yesterday with dehydration. She passed out after doing yard work for an hour. Everybody be careful out there. What are YOU doing to stay cool this weekend?

80-83 when there's 8% humidity is actually not bad though, especially with a ceiling fan running.
Setting your AC to 76-78? F that, I run mine at 70 at night, otherwise its a sweat lodge.
Today sucks, its 93 degrees, with humidity that feels like Satan's breathe. I have to pull a transmission, and I'm sweating balls just scanning a vehicle for codes right now. [Reply]

Grandma, what are you doing posting on CP? [Reply]
I keep my A/C on 68-70 degrees at night when I sleep and 75 during the day.
The best temperature for the human body to sleep is 68 degrees. 80-83 is crazy talk. :-)
Eh, I've always kept it around 68 in the winter (while wearing a sweatshirt or something) and 80 in the summer. :-)
The 80-83 here is just during the day, but sitting under a ceiling fan and with no humidity, it won't even cross my mind that it's getting warm until at least 83, if not 85.
I rarely use my A/C at all though, except for a few weeks before the monsoons when it's 90+ everyday. If I don't have the A/C on, I use a whole house fan at night. It was 62 in the house when I woke up this morning... it could hit 90 outside today and the house might barely hit 75.
A 25-30 degree difference between night and day, plus no humidity... highly energy efficient and quite comfortable. [Reply]
I've been sweating the bed with mine set at 69 degrees lately lol. Then other times I'll be cold. My place has too much fluctuation throughout a day and it's like my unit gets confused on when to shut off and when to turn on.
I've kept my place pretty cold this spring. A/C is constantly running. [Reply]
Really don't envy the situations of some of you, dang. I hate the heat, lived in TX for 13 years and it was an oven for half the year.
Up here it is still a bit cold at night. We took a convoy of 3 4wds to finally get up to a favorite mountain lake this Fathers Day weekend. Had to bust through drifts in a couple spots but we made it. It was the 3rd weekend attempt at getting through but we made it.
You have to 'like/tolerate' cold otherwise most of the year is miserable for you. Many people relocating here in summer move the next year. [Reply]

fuick you SBD housing
May not be the ac might need house sealed up and insulation. Heat and humidity makes it hard on even the best cooling system. Was the thermostat changed when they replace the unit? Is this house a split level if so you need to move air. Do you know anyone in the HVAC business to have them check Freon level. [Reply]

Single level.
They didn't replace the thermostat.
They sent some douche out here to look at it but who knows what he did.
At this point I'm done with the house in 9 months so who really cares... [Reply]
