I am with your sprouts.  I even like it closer to 68. LOL.   I can survive

with it up to about 72 or so.  Can't handle outside air lower around 70 and

high only to about 85 or so.  Fortunately that is about the weather all winter

here and in summer doesn't get much hotter than that.  Gets more hot in AR or

OH than it is here.  the breeze keeps it pleasant most of the time though we

have some really hot days and a few a year of what is cold here but not below

freezing. 

 

I feel for you at 85 in the house.  Put a block of ice in front of a fan.  

Didn't say something about putting together something like a swamp cooler

which is sort of like that with water runnding through and a fan.  Might be

able to find out how to do one for yourself.

Andesa.

In the summer my kitchen can easily hit 85 so the styrofoam cooler works

WONDERS. My sprouts do just fine in 70 or 72 but over that, I use the cooler.

Works for me.

up with that nifty idea of using Styrofoam coolers to hold your sprouts during

the summertime.

apartment will get up to 85 degrees plus. With the portable air conditioner I

bought last year, on the really hot hot days, it never got below 78 or 79

degrees; though it was fairly comfortable because so much of the humidity was

taken out.
