Our house was like that before, but one of the big maple trees got removed because of the storm. Let me tell you, that tree made a big difference in shade and sunlight. Its night our yard gets more sunlight, but we lost a lot of shade, too!

I have always wanted to try swamp coolers. I dont know if it is really possible to use in the house, though. I have heard that people used to wet thin sheets and put them over the windows. The air would cool before entering the house.

Wouldn’t a wet sheet just restrict air from flowing in?

It has to be thin, so that it can hold a little moisture and let air through.
