Re: this sucks...
Oh wow, and you live in an upper story apartment too dontcha?
Is your ac a window unit? That's all we got here in this old house, got 3 units, and I'm trying to only run them when it's absolultely necessary but gotta have one running at night to sleep for sure.

Re: this sucks...
LH if I could I'd send you one of the 3, I have sitting in my parents garage. I hope you at least have a fan running, being in the humidity is the killer, not the heat in itself.

Re: this sucks...
yup, i have three fans...and yes i live on the third floor, south side of the building, and a big window...all the sun shines in....the thing that really sucks is the fact that my a/c has to be one of those thru the wall units, and they are hard to find...but my local appliance store carries them, so come friday, i'm gonna go buy a new one..i don't have time until friday...maybe i'll lose some weight...lol
with my luck, as soon as i get the new one...it'll cool off.

Electrical fires (if that's how it started) can be very scary, just went through one, the hot plastic is not fun burning your skin, and very painful. If it wasn't for my quick response, the FD said this house could have burnt to smitherines! Thank goodness everything worked out for you Chazzy.

Re: this sucks...
Hell, a little teamwork with the hubs and a handy fire extinguisher did the job. It sure made for a busy hassle of a morning.
Had to open windows and air out the stinky smoke, I wasn't really lovin' that old love seat anyway!
