Air Conditioning

We live in a small apartment, which is double brick, but after a couple of 40 degree days, it really heats up.  We have scraps of insulation taped on to all the air vents, to keep the hot air out and the cool air in.  At the end of summer we just take these down, they dont really look that bad. 

Then we close all the blinds and curtains early in the morning.  When we finally do turn the air conditioner on, we position the air flow in such a way that it oscillates through the three living areas.

Another thing that you can do, is put a container of water in front of the air con/fan, and the air will bounce off the water and spread the cool air around.
