[Christ]

I tried something today.

I dumped a $3.99 20# bag of ice into a shallow tote (about 4 inches deep) and placed it in front of a box fan running on low speed.

I had hoped that it would be a quick way to cool down a ~200 FT^2 room. It didn't work. In fact, during that time, even though the outside temperature dropped, the sun was down, and the room was entirely closed up, the temperature inside that room never changed, all the way up until all the ice was melted, and there was, instead, 20# of water in said tote.

I'm not happy with today's experiments.

I still don't like A/C, though, and I fully support your attempts, Robert. It may not be the easiest thing to do, but who the hell said easy was best?
