JeanC: We installed hubby’s AC into his office last weekend and with the help of my neighbour later we will be getting the AC into the bedroom. I still wish we could get central air or an AC for the living room that will cover the kitchen. Can’t do heat the way I used to :P
DFO: We haven't had air conditioning in a house since we moved to Kalispell, Mont., and the Northwest 35 years ago (as of this week). And that includes two years in Lewiston, where things get warm in August. We've rarely had a problem with heat in the house on summer evenings as a result of vegetation and cooler evening temperatures. How about you?
Question: Do you have air conditioning in your home — or simply endure the 2-3 weeks in July or August that are uncomfortablly warm?
