Yes I do have central air,


The House is well shaded and properly weather stripped and insulated.

What's funny to me is that prior to the `40's there were no air conditioners in homes here, but if you visit some of the houses built in the days before AC you find they are remarkably comfortable, even in July and August. I know why but won't go into it here. Maybe I'll explain it over on my board this weekend (it is rather involved). While I'm at it I'll explain why those typical NE houses are so good in cold weather but not much help for this heat and humidity.
