Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
It's hotter here, 102 in the Grand Valley now. Was working in the orchard earlier, very hot and dry. Got the swamp coolers on high so it's fairly comfortable inside at 75F. The peach margaritas make it easier to take.
We've never had A/C. Not using A/C makes you tolerate higher heat easier. It's only 84 in the house right now.

Kerry thanks you.Originally Posted by Irving
Yes, hot. I'm doing outside projects when the clouds move in, then back inside when sunny again.
Extra large swamp cooler, keeping up. Temps around 70 in the house, cooler in basement ~ 67.
Swamp cooler is installed in old basement window, picks up the cooler air in basement and pushed through house up stairs.
Did you mean Gore?

He, as well.
Kerry said AC is as dangerous as iSIS.

Its hot AND humid ... like f'n Kansas (which is where we escaped from almost a decade and a half ago) ... at least there's constitutional carry in Kansas ... sheesh.

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
I lived in southern AZ as a kid. Didn't mind the heat then. I do now. Ugh.
That sounds like a good system, especially if the cooler is on the north or east side. Ours are on the hot metal roof pushing air down. A few years ago I replaced our standard evaporative coolers with two high efficiency Breezair coolers. They have much thicker 4" solid pads that last 8-10 years and the units are self flushing based on mineral content of the water, so they stay clean. No pad slippage, far less maintenance and very low energy use, a small fraction of AC cost. I figure it'll save me 90 trips up and down the roof over ten years.
Our original Essex coolers were good for a max 12-16 degree differential, so when temps got over 100, the house was 85-89 degrees inside, pretty miserable. My neighbors have AC and spend four times as much on electricity. Every day I'm glad we popped for high efficiency Breezair evaporative coolers.
