It’s getting fuckin hot out there. My tiny little window AC cannot keep up so I’ll be making one of these bad boys soon. I’ll let y’all know how it goes, but for now, here’s the instructions for anyone who needs it c:

    They work great if it’s not humid out. Like in AZ right up until the monsoon hits, you can keep a house in the low 70s with swamp cooling* even when it’s 100 outside, but once humidity jumps up to 30-40%, suddenly it’s 80+ inside…

    * Mind you, that is a full sized roof unit.

      Humidity is 60-80% here today. At least there is a little bit of wind right now.

      That’s the problem with NY… It may not get to 100° all the time, but it regularly stays 90°+ and it is ALWAYS 45%rh or more…

      Working in an open air factory in NY summers is brutally suffocating…
