I’d meant to get caught up on a number things I’d been meaning to post about… but it was close to 100 degrees today—and like a lot of folks in the Bay Area, I don’t have A/C. Now usually there’s only a 2-3 weeks out of the year where it’s uncomfortable… but those days can really suck.

The good news is that the installing soffit and roof vents, plus replacing the skylights so that they open now does seem to be making a big difference: the house is about 10-15 degrees cooler than the outside temperature and cools down much faster at night, when things cool down rapidly. But it still would be nice to install central air (although not A/C) since having a fan to move air around inside the house would make a big difference, plus the air filter would be better for my allergies compared to throwing open the windows.
