(except a small unit in my mothers room) But when my husband had a triple bypass the drs told us that he needed less humidity for his heart, we got the biggest window unit we could find and were so comfortable with it! Before that, we would go swimming every night around 10 and have a good nights sleep (above ground pool)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-40857425852079653362007-08-16T09:36:00.000-05:002007-08-16T09:36:00.000-05:00Astaryth, I've been thinking the same thing.

I vote for "soon" rather than "now" simply because they're probably selling like hot cakes this week.Donna.

We are getting a bit cooler temps but the humidity is back today. YUCK! Put in a couple more window units, it will be well worth it and when you do something different for a house you can take them with you.Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-9594996627765727792007-08-16T08:09:00.000-05:002007-08-16T08:09:00.000-05:00I also vote on another window unit.

I still do as long as it's on the OUTSIDE of my house.<BR/><BR/>XXOOChiquita Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933875287977285714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-83655314860777603842007-08-16T06:55:00.000-05:002007-08-16T06:55:00.000-05:00I know that I have as much as said "Enjoy your hou...I know that I have as much as said "Enjoy your house" but as I read this entry I can identify with the desire for your later years to be lived out in comfort and free from agrivation. That's why we need to sell too. I could keep up with all that needs doing around here but I would be worn out and could enjoy nothing else, like reading and visiting on the web. Living in a dirty, cluttered house is no fun either even if it is "cool". The more space...the more dirt and clutter I have to agonize over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
