Thanks! By the way, do you know if Rhonda has applied for PR
status yet?
The weather you're experiencing now is the type that I like. Does
it ever get down to below freezing in Melbourne? I don't mind cold
weather as I can always bundle up for it, but hot and humid weather
just saps the energy out of me and puts a crimp on any outdoor
activities.
Yes, my house has central a/c, but I try to use it as little as
possible to save on energy. In summer, I keep the thermostat at
78°F, but it usually feels hotter than that upstairs as all the hot
air rises (the thermostat is located on the main level). I actually
bought a floor-standing dehumidifier earlier this summer, and it
does a semi-decent job of removing excess humidity from the air in
the house, but it's really noisy and I don't like to keep it
running all day.
