Hi JB, I'm not sure there's a consensus on best practices yet. I personally have two windows, each equally spaced from the door. Both are hinged at the top, and secured open or closed with magnets. I tape furnace filters to the outside of windows, to keep the dust out. This allows both light and airflow in.
I haven't tried a ceiling vent yet. I figure that it would be an issue if there was rain. My 5 gallon swamp cooler worked GREAT last year. Good call. -Jester On Monday, August 5, 2013 7:03:53 AM UTC-7, Jay Batson wrote: > > Hey, Julie - > > Your tweekiness if fabulous.
