i did learn a new trick though. My office is over my garage, the garage is not cooled. Since i also use the garage as a shop to work on my bikes, and I live in Las Vegas, it gets too damn hot in the garage to do anything. So I bought an evaporative cooler. its basicly just a large fan that pulls air thru some pads that have water streaming over them. As the water evaporates, its cool the air, just like if you put alcohol on your skin, it feels cold as its taking the heat away as it evaporates, so same principle for the fan. So anyway now my garage is 20 degrees cooler, my office is cooler because the garage below it is cooler, and it only cost me $400 for fan. The fan is cheap to run, i mean its just a fan with a water hose connected to it.
