I am anticipating a better June. I look forward to seeing your spreadsheets! May was good in the fact that I became aware of our situation, but we’re still right on the edge.

I think I can live with the noise for the price. :-) We have considered the evap cooler and that's all we had when we lived in the city. July and August were M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E. But we haul our own water where we live now. Each load is 500 gallons and 25 minutes minimum for each load. We already haul 12-16 loads a month; using the evap would mean another 16 loads according to water usage estimates by the local electricity company. I am sure we would save money even if we only used it during the low humidity months, but we are already hard pressed to find the time to haul the water we currently use. Then there's the issue that my son and I have asthma and it is so dusty out here. I do keep coming back to the "boy, we'd sure save a lot of money with an evap cooler" then I remind myself of all the reasons why it won't work. My mom even keeps telling me we should get a cooler and I have to keep reminding her why we can't.<br/><br/>I look forward to seeing your new 3 column blog! Thanks for commenting!
