If replacing curtains, hang some that are lightweight and can be laundered weekly. Replace the comfortable chairs with wooden or metal ones that can be scrubbed, keep clothing in plastic zippered bags and shoes in closed boxes off the floor. Talk about suffering...

An industrial computer listens to thermometers throughout the house and controls a pump which sends hot water to cool places. The water flows through a rubber tube under the strips of metal that Jim called "radiant." The water warms the radiant, and the radiant warms the room...
