FINALLY!!!!
It's finally cool in the house! Adam got the swamp cooler put in and repaired the old one. So, we have a direct down draft in the kitchen that keeps it nice and cool and a ducted system for the rest of the house. It's also nice and humid now and my skin loves it. It doesn't get above 80 in here during the day and I am MUCH happier. Sweet relief..... :) Adam spent many weekends up on the roof in 90 and 100 degree heat to get it all done. I even brought dinner up there to him once! Now, he is working on getting the ground leveled out for the above ground pool I bought with the money I got selling our window A/C's on craigslist (we had them in last year but after exhoribitant electric bills, opted not to put them in this year). We also have a few solar panels we are hoping to use to power the swamp cooler motors. Right now, I want them on the trailer so we can power our batteries while we are camping, especially since the generator is broken and it might not get fixed in time (another thing for Adam to fix). BURR! I am getting chilly. I think I'll go get my blanket!
