Lord....do you live in a walk-in cooler? Does it actually get that low? (and if so, what did you insulate with??)

I know I have this discussion with MrsGomer at least once week throughout the summer....AC can be running, and been running non-stop since shortly after sunrise and already not keeping the house at the set temp, and she'll ask me to "turn it down more" because she's hot.

"Honey, it's 137* outside. The AC is set on 69, it's been running for 6hrs non-stop and the lowest it can get to is 72*....turning it down further will make exactly ZERO difference"
It will get cool enough for the thermostat to kick the unit off. Now a thermostat is not a thermometer so the actual in house temp is not really 62. And since my wife inhabits the south wing her unit remains on 69-72 setting. She can’t set it and leave it, she’s always adjusting. But my end (the north wing) stays much cooler even though I haven’t checked it with a thermometer.


I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.
