Hmmm..... I found what is called a "swamp cooler" and I'm just wondering if you were pointing me in the direction of portable air conditions that don't use much electricity? I'm looking for something that will not use electric or even solar... any ideas?There is something called a Swamp Cooler. It won't work well in Florida because of the humidity here. Check it out Youtube and Instructables.com

Seriously? You guys havent heard of a swamp cooler?
Here in So-Cal, swamp coolers are common knowledge, well idk about the homemades, but this is how a swamp cooler works:
You have water that fills the bottom, a small pump runs the water up and is distributed down through pads that soak up the water, a motor turns a large squrril cage, pulling mass amounts of air through the water soaked pads and down through the house. they work really fraken well, beter than a cheap air conditioner you buy at the depot.
Lol, you can buy one at home depot for probably cheaper than making one, but unless you have central air conditioning, swamp coolers are a hell'ova way to go.
If you do build one from scratch, keep me posted will ya?
dig baby dig, LOL. a cave dont use power or solar.Hmmm.....

Interesting Hades!dig baby dig, LOL. a cave dont use power or solar.
Interesting Hades!
digging would be an option if it weren't for the fact that I lived IN town! I have to worry about water pipes, electric lines, etc. If and when the " " hits the fan i will not need either. but until it happens I would like to enjoy both... lol... I think we will adapt to the heat... after all we have yet to turn on the heat due to the cold... I'm waiting as long as I can... I'm from WI afterall I think I will do fine with the TX cold... It's my kids I'm concerned about though... ages 4-12 (5).... I also checked on having a few chickens (hens) f0r eggs and goats for milk and we were told no because they are classified as livestock... not happy about this!
There was a meeting at the local Extension Office on raising chickens. Well they planned for about 12 people to show and over 300 came. They had to scramble and move it to another room. One of the things they pointed out was Roosters are not needed in order to produce eggs. BTW... chickens are still outlawed in areas zoned Residential here.Got 5 kids between 4 and 12..........I think you and the wife got the stayin warm part figured out LMAO
I aint pickin on ya seriously, I have a friend in WI, he says after the snow falls there is nothing else to do so everbody has a herd of kids.
Laws on chickens is changing fast all over the country, most places are beginning to allow hens only.
I would recomend you make enquiry again, but carefully use "a few hens" in the place of "chickens"

I would still suggest you contact your local agriculture extention office as well. Laws are changing and being changed faster and faster as more people become contious of where thier food comes from.Hades,
FYI I am the wife... lol! My family and I live in Texas but I am from WI.... I will take your advise and ask City Hall and quote "hens", I'm not sure if I said chickens or hens when I asked.
Thanks!
