All will be well, and that will be well is well.
We open the windows (including upstairs in the loft) at night and create a chimney effect where the air comes in from outside (it is almost always chilly at night) on the ground floor and pushes the hot air up and out the high windows while pulling cool outside air through the house. In the morning we close everything up to keep the “coolth.” It lasts reasonably well most of the day on most days. Sometimes it does get hot, but not that often.I have a window AC, just because we're all pansies and die if we can't cool off after working outside.
(Coolth is a word that logically *should* exist. It has great utility. Its lack has created a gaping hole in the English language, IMO.)


BTW, we don’t include the daylight basement in this cooling engine because it gets too cold down there if we do.

Which is why I am ordering a greenhouse kit tomorrow (hopefully). We barely have a long enough season to grow lettuce. (Slight *slight* exaggeration.)
