It was 108º in Portland today.
108º with no AC, third floor bedrooms, and a house under construction.
So you know what? Sometimes it’s okay to lay out stripped to your skivvies in your living room, splayed like snow angels to maximize surface area, slurping ice water and . . . definitely . . . not . . . working.
What can you do?

@ Charley – Thanks! It’s finally on the down swing, thank goodness.
@ Karen Cooley Jennings – Our house is only 10 years old too, and of course no AC. It’s never really been a problem until this year (this is our third summer here). 110 in Hillsboro – that’s insane! Hope you’re enjoying the cooler temps today. So glad you like the site!
