how is it with the a/c in here, so far? i don't think it's been warm enough to turn the a/c on yet this year, at all, but it's not comparable to the previous basement. i've been less frustrated with the a/c and more frustrated with the fact that it's just cold out; it's been cooling down to around ten degrees at night, and barely making it to twenty degrees during the day. so, even if you think room temperature is 21 - and i'd like it closer to 25 - it's been barely even making it to 21 most days.

there was an a/c in here when i moved in, but i uninstalled it and i don't plan on reinstalling it ever. but, i wouldn't even think to turn an a/c on until it got to at least 30 degrees. if i had central air, i'd set it to around 27 or 28. it's just a last resort.

the guy upstairs from the previous basement had the temperature set to something like 17 degrees. it was just uninhabitable; i would wake up shivering with the windows open in mid-august. i had to resort to cranking the heater all summer. i'm sure he likes the cold summer we're having, but he probably still has the a/c cranked. and, it's not because he's male, it's because he's obese - or was. the guy had months left to live when i moved out, because that much extra weight is a death sentence.

it doesn't seem like the guy upstairs is anything like this. he's a little bit fat, but it's roughly normal for his age; he's not obese, he's just in poor shape. it's not yet an issue, but you'll definitely hear me complain about it if it becomes one.....

i think i'm more likely to get annoyed by his dehumidifier than by his a/c, but we'll see what happens. i don't know why people can't just relax and enjoy the fucking summer....it's so short, here.....
