80 in Seattle today and just pulled out 2 out of 3 of my white trash AC units from the garage. But I'm still carbon free unlike that asshole Race!!
Sorry about your salmons @Swaye !!
My husband won't let us go the white trash AC route, so we suffer...
First half of the 20th century Seattle housing stock just ain't designed to handle 80 + degree days. The white trash portable and window mount AC's are noisy and ugly, but they get the jerb done. On a 90 degree day I can keep my living for at 72 and my upstairs bedroom at 68. And all for under a $1000 in a Home Depot vs $20,000 for getting AC put in at old Seattle house. Hell, I don't even know if we could make it work in our house since the furnace is in the attic.
