Daily high temperatures are beginning to get into the 80's in this area. It's not quite hot enough yet to install the A/C's. I'm increasingly using the attic fans to cool the house. Last year it was torture for me to use the attic stairs two times or more daily. Now I just get into my elevator and go to the attic without a second thought.

Indeed. I went up this evening to turn on the attic fans. My kitty anticipated my actions and scampered up the library stairs, reaching the attic just ahead of me. She'll probably spend the next few hours sleeping in front of the attic window with a nice breeze wafting over her.

I always wanted an attic, basement and a fireplace.
Those things are very uncommon where I'm from.

These things are not only common, they're almost a necessity if you live in the foothills of The Berkshires in W. Massachusetts. For
fireplaces read
woodstoves.

I find the stoves last longer if you make them out of metal.

Arrgh!!! Not that old joke about a Polish woodstove made from genuine wood! (Guaranteed to burn for four hours)
