    Don't do that. Another option is to cut the upper and lower directly above and block off the lower. Unless you cut vents above your door this solution will not help the bedroom you specifically asked about.

    Starting to think tossing in a $138 AC unit from Home Depot is the way to go.

    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 ?

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    A remote? I can get a remote? Sweet!

    (My ceiling fan has a remote. Very nice not to have to get up to adjust the fan speeds or turn the light on or off.)

    Blackout cellular blinds have always worked well for me.

    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.

    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.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
