Yes sir. Might be a little speedy to run.
What the $103 5K BTU unit isn't good enough for you ? You decadent capatialist must spend an extra $35 to get the same BTU rating but have a remote control so you can turn it on and off from your bed ? [LOL]Quote:

I'm not kidding: I hung several of the $3 mylar "survival blankets" from Walmart up in my office windows. It was getting up into the 90s in my office on a sunny day and now it only gets into the low 80s.Quote:

Whole house fans work wonders, but you may need to add roof vents for it to work.
As was said before, put an awning on the window(s) most affected by the sun. Intercept those rays before they even hit the glass, everything else is secondary. If the window(s) are first floor and you can't attach an awning, buy one of those popup canopies for $100 and stake it down in front of the window to shade the window.
Move the kids into that room, and u move into another cooler room of your choice.
Isn't the house Cool just by you being there? <jk>
Foiled Bubble wrap stuff at home depot, but a couple feet of it and tape it in the window. I used that as the headliner in a work minivan once, worked great.
