Just curious

Is there a reason that air-conditioners aren't used in the UK?


Our weather doesn't usually justify them

Thanks Ophelia. I've always wondered.

Thank goodness for AC.... even if it doesn't work nearly as well for our
second floor!

You might try doing what we do. Close all of your 1st floor vents and open
all the 2nd floor. Cool air falls and will pass through the upstairs
floorboards to your downstairs. Our house is uniformly cool all
summer...and we don't have to keep it set really low so the upstairs is
cooled off too.

Just my 2 cents,
Jenn

Helen, before you go to that expense, make sure the vent and its frame isn't
made of aluminum. The magnets won't work on that. (My mom tried putting the
plastic up with strips of magnets from refrigerator gaskets, and found that
they wouldn't stick.)


One of the first things I checked!

but this is about 2 feet
square. I keep meaning to check at one of those places that makes magnetic
signs for trucks. I'm sure I've seen signs that big.

Helen,

Otto watches "This Old House" , every Sunday....I bet they would have a
good answer for your problem, they would know if there is indeed magnetic
plastic that large available. They also publish a magazine, have a look
next time when you are in a bookstore. The other source to get a good
answer from is "Fine House Building" and Fine Wood Working" from Tantum
press, out your way somewhere. They also give you good answers. Otto
used both magazines, while he was building this house.
