Furn pickup and whole house fan

Today the charity came and picked up an armoire, desk, dresser and coffee table we don't need for this house. I am so happy and the garage looks so much clearer - better than since we've moved in!

I also started researching whole house fans, which are a very specific item not just a fan that cools the whole house (although they do that). It's a fan that is installed in the ceiling of your highest floor of living space (in our case, we only have one story) and pulls air through your open windows and vents it out of the attic. If you don't have adequate attic ventilation, you need to cut more vents so the air doesn't seep back into your walls or try to find an outlet through any crevice in the attic. Inadequate outlet for the air can actually cause a breeze to blow out of your electrical outlets in the living area!

As with all things house, it is quite complex and will require me to get schooled on WH fans, find an installer and make sure it's done right. There are loads of options to consider.
