Holy crapzolla, Russ. Remind me NEVER EVER NEVER IN A MILLION EONS let you inside my garage or house. Imagine the crazy look on your face if someone just hands you a power tool and a house and say, "Russ, my boy, today's your lucky day. Go crazy with the house."
My only AC comes from my fan. Ah well. Better than poking your head in the freezer all day long and inviting strange comments from the kids. [/DIV]
Umm, you dont know how accurate this statement is. LOL. One of my buddies bought a house with his family and they were going to tear it down.. it was empty but they would have to pay so much to have the drywall removed with the guts to get down to the framing.. which would then be removed. So he called me and uh.. I think it was 12-14 others and bribed us with as much pizza and cold beer we could drink over a weekend. He almost went broke when he realized the amount of beer we were consuming.. but we gutted that house in two days, only one couch through the front window, the cops came by twice on the second night when the neighbors complained about loud AC/DC playing and one of our buddies practicing his wrestling moves jumping off the back balcony onto doors on top of chairs below.
we have two small ac units for two bedrooms in the upper house which are turned on later in the day so you can sleep at night.. my bedrooms in the basement so its nice and cool all the time. But Ive been looking at what is the next big craze down in the southern states and commiefornia where it gets super hot and expensive to run AC all the time.. big 3 foot fans that are solar powered you put through your roof, they are sealed and have a downward facing lip so water cant get in. It sucks the hot air that builds up in your house out so it keeps it MUCH cooler, and if you run a small ac unit it will not work nearly as hard.. hot air rises and cold air sinks....
