[quote=Anonymous]Finally caved and turned it on when I got home this afternoon. I was hoping to make it to June 1st, but oh well. The thermometer read 80 on the main level, which means at least 85 upstairs. I set it to 77 and it is comfortable but not cool. I miss having the windows open but we only have ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms, and even when it's this hot outside you don't feel anything unless you're lying directly under them.  Our house faces full south with no trees in front, and even with the blinds down it gets pretty warm during the day. On the plus side, the house is pretty small so it only takes about 30 minutes to cool down reasonably, and 60 to get comfortable.

I grew up with air conditioning (in Philadelphia) but my parents tried to use it sparingly -- which meant my brothers and I often took sleeping bags down to the basement to be able to sleep at night. I would be willing to do that here but DH says no. And I must say it is nice not to sweat in my own home, especially while cooking dinner. [/quote]
