Trying to Keep Cool

Someone Paul works with let us borrow an ac window unit. We have been moving the two around to try and cool where we are most in the house. In the mornings we have the two units in the living room, then at bedtime we move one to our room and one to one of the boys rooms.

Last night we decided to go to Home Depot and get another ac window unit and a big utility fan. Now we have two units in the living room with the big fan and one in our bedroom with a small fan. AJ and Mady are sleeping in our room and the other three are sleeping in the living room.

As you would expect, a utility fan is pretty loud. It is even louder inside the living room! However, it does an amazing job of spreading the cool air around the house. At this point we will take the extra noise for the extra coolness!

Mady's room and Caleb and Isaac's room are on the west side of the house (as is the living room). Mady's monitor in her room has a thermometer built in. Every evening it reads between 95 and 97 degrees in there. Caleb and Isaac's room actually feels hotter than hers. Those rooms are basically taped off at this point, no one goes in unless it is early morning or an emergency and the doors stayed closed!!
