I live in TX and I sometimes wonder about the same- how did anyone lived here 100 years ago (or why they thought it would be a great idea). The best I could come up with - they just dealt with it. High temperatures meant staying in shade and sweating more. You can do only so much structurally but there are weeks when it doesn’t go below 90 in the night.
- jjeaff 3y agoMy grandfather grew up in a rural area that didn't have electricity or running water until he was a teenager. He would occasionally mention little tips and tricks to how they used to deal with not having some amenities. Many were simply less desirable options. He had these hard, flat wooden chairs that were in his house growing up. He said because of them, they tended to just keep working on the farm until they were tired enough to go directly to bed.
