small bedroom - abt 10X10 i would guess. its the furthest room from the furnace and doesnt get any air conditioning. there is a ceiling fan, but would like to cool it some more. any ideas? windows are two tall old ones that cant fit a window a/c without replacing them (not interested, and faces front of house). know of a non-electric dehumidifier called "moisture magnet"? is this toxic? this is a baby's bedroom.

If running another duct is not an option you could remove the old register and use the hole to discharge warm air and condensate water from a portable A/C. You also could mount an old furnace blower in a basement window to put the heat from the portable unit outdoors. You could also cut a hole through the bedroom wall and mount a window A/C in a wall sleeve. A casement-type of window unit won't work? Good luck.

Put the a/c in the window sideways, place carboard/plastic with duct tape in the open area that the a/c doesn't cover.
Place it on the correct side down to make sure the water is leaking from the bottom corner.

If a portable AC unit is out of the question, I'd go for one of those high velocity rotating tower fans. Friends have had those and they work great on circulating air. :)

Run a second duct. Mount the take-off as close to the plenum as possible. Even if your blower and or A/C is undersized, this fix will help.

I would plug in some box fans and paint the room a light colour so it would make it look better. Dark colours will make the room look bigger.

Get one of those units that sits on the floor and just a small vent goes out the window.

light color walls and blinds or drapes that can be closed during the day to keep out the light and heat. floor fans.(clean these regularily as they pick up alot of lint)
