Hot as hell out there? Close all windows by 10am, cover them, it makes it gloomy inside, but can lower the indoor temp almost 10 degrees. Open everything up around dusk, exhaust fans on for an hour, when sun goes down, change fan to intake for cooler air.Next day repeat again. Northern Vermont here and most of us do not have a/c, or don't want to spend a fortune on electric bills. As a yankee, I just can't stand it above 72 degrees. Cold beer is delicious, but make sure to drink 2 waters for each beer. The restroom will be busy, but you will stay hydrated.PS-I don't drink alcohol myself, but those who do, and do it safely, remember it is not really a thirst quencher in the heat.
