I just took a really cool shower hoping it would help. It helped a bit but I'm just sitting here wishing we had a better AC unit. I looked at those

small central AC units I've seen on the outside of apartments but they're out of our price range plus we're renters.

I need to check LetGo and Craigslist like places and see if someone by chance is letting one go. They're not common so it's a bit of a stretch.

I have to assume you have tried closing the doors to other rooms, and sleeping in the living room. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:48 3
- The bedroom is the best room but we can't hangout there. The living room has a west facing window that just roasts the room in the afternoon. - Krusty Jun 6, 16:56 2
  - gotcha. It seriously sucks. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:57 1

Effing landlords. Also check into some pretty powerful fans, freeze some damp towels, etc. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 6, 16:20 5
- We have very high humidity so that might not work as well as in other places. I have fans going as well. I'm doing everything I can. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 6, 16:53 3
  - high humidity. hahahahhha -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:59 2
    - Are you saying we don't? Sure other places get high humidity too but it's rather bad here as well. - Krusty Jun 6, 17:05 1
      - having lived in NYC and DC, the humidity part is suckier in DC. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 19:01
- wet towel over a fan. Also, open windows strategically to make a wind tunnel. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:50
