That really made me laugh. I agree pumps would make life much easier but I could certainly use the excercise! Making 50 trips up and down the stairs with 32 pounds would certainly help my fitness level which in term helps my body regulate temp on its own. Pumps also add significant cost and increase complexity a lot. With many small jugs I can quite easily manipulate where I put the mass to determine what might be the best location.
I also considered the single room air conditioner and may try that out but considering how small my house really is I have to think my central air is a bit more efficient with a few added benefits and added comfort for my labrador.
Everyones suggestions would clearly seem like the better idea but I am hoping to use this experiment to actually find which locations I could benefit from adding thermal mass when I do remodel. Passively heating and cooling would be ideal and I only suggested carrying jugs around just to put another dimension to my experiment.
