make sure the windows where the most sunlight comes in has heavy blinds, or get a sunshade for the window.. it comes in a roll, and you can cut off as much as you need, and apply it to the window..

don't use the oven, find foods that you can prepare without the oven as that will heat up a room fast.

if you not using a room, shut the doors or hang a drap over that area, that way the fans can help cool only the area you need.

get some of the smaller personal fans to put on you..

if you have ceiling fans use them.

start your mornings off early where most of the work is done, where in the afternoon you can louge around with the fans on you.

even at night time, don't heat up the house for when you do that can carry over.

I've lived in a mobile home long time ago and they can be very hot.. it metal heating up.. and it so hard to cool one down.

In the afternoon if you can get away to go do things it a good thing to do so, this way you not in the house where the heat is.
