I also have one of the LG portable A/C units that does an OK job of cooling the downstairs, but creates a large volume of water that must be dumped every few hours.

For the last 2 Summer's my wife has worked/stayed in our 32' travel trailer in our back yard (she works from home) where it is comfortably air conditioned. I have no problem with an 80* house, and actually prefer it it to A/C. I also make a daily trek to our backyard pool to cool off.

We will most likely get a wall mounted mini-split (or two) before we retire. The furnace is water baseboard heat from a boiler, but we use our woodstove almost exclusively.
