As I had said, I know what to do, but sometimes knowing and doing doesn't get the job done. The above is a perfect example. My brother stays here when he's working in the area, he has all kinds of advice for keeping the house cool. But who doesn't close their blinds in the morning, and leaves the windows wide open all day (even now in the winter)? There were plenty of days I'd have the house doing okay, cool enough, then there'd be a slip up or a few extra hot days and the whole system would fail.My mother's aunt couldn't keep the house cool when my mom was living with her (and didn't listen to my mom's advice on handling it). She went away for a week, and the temperatures were higher that week than they'd been all summer, but when she got home, my mother had it cooler in the house than it had been in a couple of months. I think after that, my mom was put in charge of keeping the house cool until she moved out. :)Julia
My niece was also staying here this summer, but she had no clue that if a door was closed there was a reason, blinds need to be pulled shut, how ACs work. (I had a broken AC in a closet downstairs, and a working one underneath a window. She didn't want the working AC put in at first because once it went in, it stayed in with a special bracket, no air movement in that window. It finally got too hot for her but instead of asking me to lift the AC into the window, she just turned it on where it sat on the floor; then carried the broken one upstairs and put it on top of the other one and wondered why she wasn't cool! This girl is in college?)(I was saving the broken AC for a friend taking HVAC classes, they work on old ACs otherwise I was throwing it out).
