The Heat Wave-Proof House
Gosh, it's hot. Really hot. This heat dome doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon, and it's causing trouble from Phoenix to Portland.
For the next few days, we hope you're stocked up on fans and ice. Thinking longer term, there are steps you can take to make your house more livable during heat waves. Our new favorite dwelling in Sacramento was designed to beat the heat, and you might find a few ideas in it that could work in your home, too, especially if you'll be renovating any time soon.
It's not just people and pets who suffer in the heat. Plants wither, too. Consider bringing your wilting container plants and even small trees indoors and using a grow light to make sure they get rays without excessive heat. We've got just the lamp. Bonus: It doesn't look like it came from a growhouse basement. In fact, it's actually pretty stylish.
