    I wish I could have seen Celilio Falls. The Columbia going a set of falls had to be quite a spectacle.

    What was it like, uncle Race? Did you ever trade with the indians there? Maybe trade some red cloth for fish?

    They say up to 20 million fish used to run through there annually. Fucking white devils.

    My husband won't let us go the white trash AC route, so we suffer...

    First half of the 20th century Seattle housing stock just ain't designed to handle 80 + degree days. The white trash portable and window mount AC's are noisy and ugly, but they get the jerb done. On a 90 degree day I can keep my living for at 72 and my upstairs bedroom at 68. And all for under a $1000 in a Home Depot vs $20,000 for getting AC put in at old Seattle house. Hell, I don't even know if we could make it work in our house since the furnace is in the attic.

    Fuck. Does the Throbber have to always find the proper cost-effective solutions!?!

    Don't sound poor.

    We had a 1950's home in Seattle. There was always one week where we wished we had AC. That was usually about it.

    People forget that a lot of San Diego homes built around the same time don't have AC because of the mild climate. Now you can't sell a home without it

    Still don't have AC in the doogbot household. HB still gets that nice ocean breeze.

    We use the AC a lot less than people would imagine even in the desert of Temecula. Usually a nice breeze and I prefer an open window and a fan to eating AC. Also usually 15% humidity

    The late summer monsoon season does require AC

    Ductless mini splits are one of the most expensive HVAC systems you can install in the states, although they're pretty ubiquitous in EweRope. (Since the systems are so desirable and still relatively rare, installers totally rip people off around here. You can install them yourself and save a boatload of money, but you still have to pay a licensed installer for final connections and system filling/bleeding.) Anyway, they're the most efficient heating/cooling system on the planet, with some of them having SEER ratings above 30. Fujitsus are the best for heating (read: Seattle), and Mitsubishi are the best for cooling. There are some cheaper options, but not as efficient, reliable, and not worth it in the long run.

    The good news is that not only would you be adding AC for those few weeks a year we need it, but it would cut your heating bill in the heating months considerably, so it's like getting a huge discount over time.

    If you're handy you could buy a three-headed system that would cover most of your house (unless you have a modern gigantic mcmansion, which it sounds like you don't) for about $4K through wholesalers, spend $500 in installation parts, and pay another $300 to be ripped off by an installer for filling/bleeding. You'd be out about $5K, but your heating bills would drop in half in the winter, and you'd be cutting your AC bill in half for a month or two per year when it's hot enough for AC.

    Just an option.

    Unless you're Race, then it's miserably long and you can afford to waste a few decades surrounded by scrub hills and dust

    The weather is pretty glorious 5-6 months out of the year here 2 miles north of the Greatest Setting in College Football. But even we get 80 degree days where AC is nice.

    But i do appreciate the joys of coastal California rich people living. Remember that Grandma Yella lived in a private community in Laguna Beach that makes Aptos look like the projects.
