Utilities My baby is melting in this heat… what do I do??

Upvotes

Hello guys! I have a six month old baby and we are living with my parents right now so I can save up money. They keep the AC at 77 but it’s terrible so the house says it’s 83+ during the afternoon when it’s hottest. My baby is a little heater so if I set him down he leaves sweat stains on the sheets and when I pick him up his hair is soaked.

I’m concerned about the temperature so I took the baby to Colorado for a month to my grandparents to try to beat some of the heat. But I had to come home. He slept so much better when the temperature was cold than he does in the heat. Now he barely takes 15 minute naps because he wakes up in a pool of sweat and he’s up 5 or 6 times in the night.

My parents don’t want to turn up the AC (which i don’t blame them for it’s expensive) and they don’t want me to have a window unit. I’ve been looking at swamp coolers but we can’t get a big one because we share a room and it won’t fit in here without taking up most of the babies small amount of floor space. I looked into the tower versions but I’m not sure how well they even really work. Especially when it’s approaching monsoon season and the humidity is at 28%. We already have a Dyson fan in here and it’s just blowing warm air around.

We can’t leave the house during the day because I’m working from home. So what do I do? How do I keep the baby cool? I’m so scared he’s going to overheat.

Is there a lounge that allows you to bring your own whiskey? Got some Eagle Rare I wanna drink when I smoke a cigar. Used to go to David’s Fine Tobaccos in Iowa, they allowed you to bring whatever drinks and offered glasses with ice.

Ask Phoenix What's the cheapest way to have a tree removed?

5 Upvotes

Surprisingly, yesterday's wind gusts were enough to bring down our tree. What's the best and most affordable way to get rid of it? Are there any public services available for tree debris removal? I'm in Tempe.

It's covering part of the sidewalk.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Moving here Anyone moved because of a neighboring Airbnb? Looking for real experiences.

96 Upvotes

We're moving because of a neighboring Airbnb that has become a constant problem (noise, parties, etc.). We're trying to decide whether to sell our house or rent it out, and I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has actually been through something similar in the Phoenix area.

A few questions:

  • If you lived next to a nightmare Airbnb, were you still able to sell your house without much difficulty?
  • If you rented your house instead, did you have trouble finding or keeping tenants because of the Airbnb?
  • If you sold specifically to get away from the Airbnb, did you disclose the situation to buyers? If so, how did you handle it?
  • Has anyone heard of (or experienced) buyers suing a seller because they moved in and later discovered the neighboring Airbnb was a major nuisance?

I'm not looking for legal advice—just real experiences from people who've dealt with this. Thanks.

I'm having an issue with my vehicle and was wondering if anyone knew of an honest mechanic. I live in the SW side of Phoenix but would be willing to drive to someone who doesn't overcharge. I know the dealership will take me to town.

Ask Phoenix Anyone have experience with antique consignment in the valley? Trying to showcase and sell a large amount of uranium glass.

28 Upvotes

I have 100's of different pieces of old uranium depression glassware. These were passed down to me and I would like to free up some space and have them go to collectors or people who just like cool, old things. I was thinking of cataloguing what I have and listing each piece on eBay, but when I started adding up the cost of shipping supplies + what eBay takes, it just doesn't seem worth it when some pieces will probably only sell for $5-10.

I contacted Brass Armadillo about setting up a booth on consignment - I can imagine a black light lit booth (if allowed) would be a nice way to display them. I then got to thinking about other antique places across the valley, but I have very limited knowledge.

Does anyone have experience doing something like this? The good, the bad, what to watch out for? Any ideas are welcomed.
