In response to "nice! if you have the AC running, your inside air should be pretty dry. when the paint is 100% dry and hard (shut up kilbo), showering should be fine. -- nm" by loosilu

We do have AC running, but it doesn't seem to make it upstairs...it's always at least 10 degrees hotter up here.

Hopefully not too muggy, though.

In the summer, we leave the AC fan set to On, and that helps a lot. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 11:45 3

    - For heat, it learned real nice. What I've learned with the air on is that we don't change it so it isn't learning a schedule - oblique Jun 11, 11:51
You need another blower -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 11:44 13
- I can feel the cool air coming out of the vents up here...just never seems to cool the rooms up here. - kelly Jun 11, 11:50 10
  - does the upstairs get more sun? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 12:01 1
    - Maybe? - kelly Jun 11, 12:08
  - I have some of the same issues, but not horribly. When it gets really hot the a/c can't keep up. - pmb Jun 11, 11:57
  - attic fan? - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:56 2
    - also, closing all the vents on the first floor to force the air up to the second. - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:58 1

  - Our place is like that. In winter the downstairs is unbearably cold. In summer, downstairs feels much nicer. At least 10 degree diff. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 11:55
  - Could also be poor insulation in the roof. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 11:54 2
    - Maybe. During the winter, we have the thermostat in the low 70s, yet the upstairs is in the mid 60s. - kelly Jun 11, 11:56 1
      - Our house inside is 2.5 levels and it's always warmer upstairs.....opening the upstairs windows in the early morning and keeping the downstairs - CrankYanker Jun 11, 12:02
- or open the windows upstairs to let the hot air out and allow a cross breeze to pull the cold air up. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 11:45 1
  - or just run the exhaust fans in the upstairs bathroom(s) -- nm - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 11:48
