Tocqueville's impression of American attitudes toward the relation of government and religion was formed on his tour of the United States in the early 1830s during the high tide of evangelicalism:
The room begins to heat up as the summer sun beats down on the glass. There are a few things you can do about it in a relatively short time. 1  An awning or outdoor window shade will stop most of the sun's heat before it comes to your window. 2  Install shades or shutters on the offending windows for more comfort when needed.
* Lower the indoor humidity so there won't be as much excess moisture vapor in the air. * Take steps to insulate the outside of the glass or at least keep cold air away from it so its inside surface won't get so cold. * Keep warm, moisture-laden air on the inside away from the cold window glass. One of the first things a homeowner can do to lower indoor humidity is to install exhaust fans in the kitchen and the bathrooms so moisture is exhausted to the outside as fast as it is created.
