related: if you use a portable AC unit the plastic exhaust hose gets hot, which means some of the gains from the unit are dissipated immediately. always use the minimum hose range. I further mitigated this with improvised insulationpic.twitter.com/0Y8EWuu8Kw

I may unplug our refrigerator at peak heat tomorrow and replug it in at night. can pack the important frozen stuff into the deep freeze in the other room. Everything should keep for a few hours at least, and it would take pressure off the AC.

Fifty, Foul, A Sly Drunk @FunkyDuffyReplying to @eigenrobotThe Poor of the Sunbelt have a particular affinity for aluminum foil. Make sure you use the shiny side and not the dull side.
