I have lived in apartments with the same problem and people would try this,
guess it works some what.
But if your upstairs the people below will hear it humming and they always
complained guess its loud below?
get one of those AC. that vent with a dryer hose and make a easy to place
and remove vent for the window if you use it at night who will ever see
it.it could even just be heavy cardboard. and place the AC. on a piece of
carpet with allot of padding under carpet so it cant be heard below if
that's an issue.

We live in an apartment and for reasons to long to go into cannot have
air conditioning. All we have are fans which do an OK job of moving
the air around. Better than nothing I guess.

Now... If we were to add a DEHUMIDIFIER to the mix, would that help us
feel any cooler? Sometimes, especially at night the humidity outside
is like 80, 90% or even higher. We have the windows open and although
the air is a little cooler at night it is just so damn sticky.

What if we got a dehumidifier or two, closed the windows and let the
fans run. Would it FEEL cooler? Also... do dehumidifiers have any
COOLING capability at all?

Thanks in advance
