Ken, I have a question about the swamp cooler thing. My wife’s grandparents lived out in the desert of California for a few years and they had one. In talking to an HVAC guy here about them, he said they didn’t work so well here because of our high humidity, sometimes in the 80% range. What’s the humidity like down there in your part of Texas?Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 5:23 pm Unfortunately in Roland’s situation, in his first post he says “retail stores have been sold out of AC units since early June”. So the most obvious solution is apparently not viable for him. That’s why I suggested the home made swamp cooler for some relief, at least until the weather changes or the stores there get some AC units in stock. Not the best solution, but it helps unless/until a better one becomes available.

Roland, if the portable a/c units are sold out in your area, perhaps amazon would be an option. Here is the opening search page from amazon for portable a/c units.
