Heading for the 90's here as well. I love it! I'd rather stretch out summer! Might toss the kayak in this afternoon.
BTW, nice wood collection;)
 
I see 80's on my horizon. Seems too hot. I don't know how people manage 90+
 
It was 87 in the house at 6pm tonight.... it's finally down to 81 at 10pm...
 
Been cool here but supposed to get hot & humid today...80's and 90's depending on the location. Had a bonfire last night in the fire pit, but it wasn't quite the same...
If you do not have AC in your house...a simple trick to help cool it off. If you can windows open from the top, open them and put fans in the windows blowing the inside air outside. Do that on opposite sides of your house. Crack open one or two windows in the center if your house. When it cools off later in the day, flip one of the fans blowing air in. Should help a bit.
Nice stacks btw...
 
We try and keep the blinds closed as much as we can so it doesn't let the sun place in... I did throw a window fan in the window, then realized that I removed the outlet when I put in the patio door. I have been meaning to get back up in the attic and run another line, but its hot up there!

I have been putting off blowing air sealing and blowing more insulation until I am able to get up there and finish the wiring... but if it continues to be this hot, it might have to happen sooner rather than later!
