Beat the Heat: 20 Ways To Keep Your House and Yourself Cool
It is hot and humid all across the SouthCoast this week and simply staying by the shore isn't going to keep you cool. So how can you beat this summer heat even without the air conditioning? We have some tips that are guaranteed to cool you off and keep your home more comfortable.
