Vent: Anyone else live in a high rise and can’t control the temperature?

Katie • Chicago lady boss designer. First time pregnant, high rise living with 3 fur balls.

I’m pregnant and in tears. It’s ridiculous that our building turns the ac off for the season. The sun shines directly in our apt and heats it up during the day it reaches over 80° and I can do a absolutely nothing to cool it down. I have all my windows and doors open. Might be time to start looking for a new place to live.

Me too! We are on Floor 23 of a high rise and it's so hot I'm here sometimes! Then DH opens all the windows and I freeze! Gotta love fighting Chicago winters 😨❄️

They tell us to close our vents but not all the way. Pipes will burst or something. I should be used to it by now but I can't get used to cooking in my own home. I think the secret is lots of fans and the perfect amount of window opening.

Ugh. How do you deal with it? Our building management will do nothing about it. It’s crazy we can’t control the temperature of our own homes.
