Hmmm...sounds exteme-how high do you think the temp gets in a closed home that would actually cause damage?

Ever been in a shed when it's 95 outside? Shed might be 105. Plus the humidity. It can and does cause damage. Maybe not every time but I've seen it enough. Especially with days and weeks of these temps. One or two days probably wouldn't do anything. But weeks I wouldn't chance it.

You aren't comparing a shed to an insulated home?
OK this is starting to get old lol.

Your right that insulation will hold the heat more than a shed. Plus sheds usually have a lot of ventilation to breath more than a house (older homes 50/100 years and older were built this way.

Since homes are built today to have conditioned air.

So when the ac is off the house wouldn't perform as designed.
So yea I guess a house would get much hotter. Good point!!

When my wood floors were laid the florr guy wanted to flooring in my house for 2 days with the ac running before he would lay them down. He also tols to never for more than a day or two because the floors woul start developing cracks in the seems due to high moisture and temps.




Cappy I'd would leave it on 80 and not any higher.
