Solutions for cooling a hot room We have a 14' x 20' room with southern exposure, 16' ceilings, lots of windows, and registers in the ceiling. It gets very hot in the afternoon. I'm looking for suggestions for how to keep it more comfortable. It shares a wall with the hallway where our thermostat is installed. Might we add a through-wall ventilation fan near the floor of the room, along with a vent near the ceiling, to pull cooler air from the hallway and let the warmer air escape? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Is a contractor responsible for returning things to their rightful state even if its out of the scope of their contract? I had electrical work done and they messed up the wires going to the security system. now it won't function. They said the reconnected it but now they are saying they don't mess with security systems. Do I call my security company and send the contractor the bill? I would like to add that i'm of the mindset that you do what is right not what you can get away with and most people don't follow that so I'm not sure to what extent people CAN be held accountable.

When it comes to major home renovations, what improvements/fixes produce the best ROI? I just purchased a seriously outdated fixer-upper, and I’m hoping to renovate the most important parts of the home and put it back on the market within a year. I don't have time to renovate the entire home, and I'd like to know what kinds of renovations produce the best ROI so I know where to start.

Before hiring an architect or designer for my addition, what sort of questions should I ask them? Design is extremely important to me, and I feel like I can see that in their portfolio of work. What else should I be paying attention to?
