62 or Bust!

Jenn and I have finally given in to the heavy heat that has descended upon southern Saskatchewan. Our little apartment is on the top floor (of only two floors... so it's not that tragic), so after a day's heat has settled, our place feels a tad stifling. Yesterday was the last straw. We got home from visiting my family at White Bear, and found the house "un-sleep-able." We ended up sleeping in front of the open patio door to survive. When we woke the next morning, Jenn declared, "We're getting an air conditioner today!"

First thing Monday afternoon we zipped into Canadian Tire, and grabbed a nice little 6000 BTU unit. After a couple of hours, we had a wood-frame set up to house the machine, and to keep it from plunging 20 feet to the ground, and voila! Cold air. It's a luxury to have the power to make our room so cold that a heavy blanket is necessary! 62°F is a wonderful feeling.
