My basement is completely unfinished. Basaltic lava floor and one light bulb. More like a dungeon than a basement. No windows and only small screened vents in the concrete walls. Definitely a storage area - not much of a living area.
However - it's always cool. You are correct. Snuggling is here on the main floor. Not so much down in the basement.
AH - temps have dropped enough. I just turned the big fans on. A dull roar for the rest of the night. But it DOES cool down the house.

Yesterday I was out showing the Palouse to my sister who is visiting from Tennessee. Went up Steptoe Butte but you could only see 20 or so miles due to the smoke. Saw a several of fields of Garbs and lintels that have been considered a total loss and sprayed with Roundup.

Morning Cougsfan - this heat/smoke makes for a sad situation. Brownie & I have been mostly hunkered down. Got a high overcast this morning. Keeping the temps down to 77, right now.
And it actually sprinkled for about 30 minutes. Nothing measurable but it cleaned the air and dropped the temps.
I'll just bet a whole lot of fields of garbs & lentils have withered on the vine. This hot/dry weather is really playing havoc with anything green. Except the weeds in my yard. The grass is either tan or has turned to dust. The weeds - not yet.
Obviously - they have not started the rework on the road to the top of Steptoe Butte. The web site said mid-June. Maybe this hot weather has delayed their project.

Our heat wave in hte NW is not over, predicted to be triple digits again by the weekend. Harvest is well underway but still no reports of yield or quality.
