I closed all but 1 register downstairs and ended up turning the AC on to hopefully get the girl to sleep. I'll try blocking the upstairs air return tomorrow to see if I can get the cool downstairs air to mix upstairs. Maintaining temperature parity will be difficult in this house... I can already hear freebeard typing a link to a dome home :P
I'm just not sure if blocking a return will put too much strain on the air handler or if closing half my registers will put too much pressure on the ducting.

I had a window AC unit when we lived in a different house. The accordion rubber seal would let in a lot of light, so I cut a Rainier beer box and inserted it to block the light. Of course, I kept the printed side toward the inside instead of boring cardboard.
I've easily got to be the most hillbilly in my neighborhood.
