I'm staying hydrated, if not cool.
Just one challenge after another here at Chez Decay...
Staying in my AC-cooled house with all drapes drawn. Go out occasionally to fill the birdbaths which are now basically drinking bars for the bees--although a fat robin took a bath early this morning.
Here's how it feels here:Screenshot_20210626-130800_Chrome.jpg
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
Ha, Jane....I was reading your post and when it came to Chez Decay I said it aloud and it also sounds like Shady Kay! ;-)

If the shade fits...Originally Posted by KayLR
Hillbilly-design swamp cooler with box fans is saving the day, a bit. 92 degrees here, an all-time high. It would typically be 65 degrees today.
I was up at 6a getting the garden watered. We are topping off our koi pond with cool water and I put some milk jugs in the freezer to make ice to put in later. There is no shade on the pond.... Pulled out all the salad veggies today. I don't think they are going to make it. Big salad for dinner tonight on our way to 107 degrees.
Can you describe how to rig that up? We don't have AC, but it would be nice to be able go to one step further than our ceiling fans on really hot days.

Box fan. Large bowl of water in front of it. Large damp kitchen towel sorta draped over fan and dipped into bowl to wick up more water. Not effective for my large rooms, but is blowing nice cooler air over my desk chair area, lowering the temp ~12 degrees from room temp.
I’m surprised the swamp cooler works for you where are. In order for this to be effective they require very very low humidity.
