If people power wash their house once or twice a year you don't get any mold. But I had mold on my house in Kansas City that had to be rinsed off too.

I prefer not to golf during the hotter time of the day. It's a personal preference.

It's greener here than Phoenix and we don't have dust storms. It also doesn't flood the streets when it rains.
We too live in the Kansas City area and Connie is correct. It is at least as humid here in the summer, and we have somewhat hotter extremes. For example, we had 15 consecutive days last summer with highs over 100 degrees, while friends tell me that 100 degree temps are very rare in TV. Hot weather doesn't keep me from working outside or playing golf during the heat of the day, so I don't anticipate I would have a problem with summers in TV. As others have said the heat in the Phoenix area is much different, however please don't try to convince me that 110 with low humidity is comfortable - it's hot!
