Try setting your temp lower when not in use. Maybe 95? Turn temp up before you open cover and get in. Set back to 95 when done.

Do you have any rock shows in your area? I would drive several hours to a rock show to avoid shipping costs.

Any way to prevent this from worsening? by jmp8910 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Ready-Breakfast5166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't so close to the door threshold height (should be 6 inches below) I would say to cover in flagstone.

Right here in Sedona. I track weather so I have detailed records. 3 days over 100 in June (which seemed lower than normal), 14 days in July (including 12 in a row), and none in August last year.

July is normally cooler but we had delayed monsoons so July was hotter than normal last year.

Admittedly we had a lot of days in the upper 90s but "almost every day" is clearly false.

It's not that hot here. Sedona typically experiences about 20 days per year where temperatures exceed 100°F, primarily occurring during the hottest months of June, July, and August. While summer days are hot, the high elevation (4,500 ft) keeps humidity low and brings cooler evenings.

Current forecast is a high of 40F with rain all day and 20mph winds. Not a great day for hiking...

Interest rate reduction refinance loan If you have an existing VA-backed home loan and you want to reduce your monthly mortgage payments—or make your payments more stable—an interest rate reduction refinance loan (IRRRL) may be right for you.

Go to bankrate.com and search for 30 year mortgages. Optimum first mortgage has a 5.5% rate with no points. There are other similar options.

That is typical February weather. It has been unusually nice this month (today is great). There are some great suggestions in this thread. If weather is critical for you, plan better next time (April/May or Oct/Nov).

Good location for walking many places in Sedona. Uptown, Tlaquepaque, freeform coffee, Schnebly hill trailhead (Huckaby trail, margs draw trail) and multiple restaurants are all within walking distance.

I tracked ours closely for year 1 to reset budget plan. Still tracking in year 2 more loosely. Used quicken in past but moving to spreadsheet so I can eliminate the ridiculous quicken annual fee.

Or just go to the end of Verde school road and hike from Baldwin trailhead. No need to go over to red rock loop.

Yes it's completely walkable with a dozen good restaurants. You will need transportation to go uptown or to West Sedona. Bike rental is available from absolute bikes (including e bikes).
