Things have mellowed out here in VA this week. Not quite as hot but threatening rain every day so you still sweat buckets as soon as you walk outside.
I picked up a portable airconditioner a few weeks back. We use it in the RV though & haven't needed it in the house. It works OK but not as well as I'd hoped. If yours can cool your living room down 3 degrees in 30 minutes, it's a keeper.
