You have your windows open in winter in Chicago? In a single family home your pipes would or rather could freeze in winter. In an apartment depending on how warm the neighbors get their place and heart can radiate through walls that might work. In the summer though Damn that would get warm.
I do! I am on the first floor of the building and get direct sunlight between 4 and 5pm from May to July. This keeps the place cooler in the summer, it’s like a cave. Then in the winter, my unit sits on top of the boiler room for the building so I have heated floors. It’s really not so bad and a feature of my exact unit.
I don’t! My windows are open all year here in Chicago.
Even last week when we had the 3 days of 100+ heat? When it’s above 85, I have terrible air circulation in my place and need to turn the AC on.
I was uncomfortable last week: made due with box fans, drinking water, and cool as it would get (warm) showers.
Today was lovely though
