    Thanks for the advice all.
    Get a large window unit swamp cooler, put it in a ground floor window near the outside water faucet, or run a cheap flexible plastic line like for a refrigerator, and open the upstairs bedroom window. Initial cost around $450,Cools just as good as A/C and quicker, electric bill stays low and you can take it with you when you move.

    I did this for about 10 years and three rentals, then donated it to Habitat for Humanity when we bought a home with central air.
