There is no feasible way to put one in. We have no ducting. We have no
place to put a unit outside. We can't vent out a window nor can we put in a
window unit or put one through a wall.

The past two years were so cold in the summer that we actually had the heat
on. This summer for whatever reason is hotter than usual. We had a hot one
when we moved here 10 years ago and another hot one the year that Angela
went to summer school. But most summers, the hottest temp we get is 70,
save for perhaps a few days here and there. Usually 2 weeks at the most and
not all at once where it gets hotter than that.
