One way to deal with the heat :D
There is no air conditioning in the locker room at the firehouse. We do have an ice machine though. So I made an improvised A/C unit :D . it works pretty well.

I thought this thread would have a fire hydrant cracked open and you playing in it.

Brilliant idea! My only question, Tony, is whether this model is rated to 15 SEER efficiency and 34,600 BTU (3 Ton). I'm thinking it's more along the lines of 28,430 BTU. :p :D JK, of course. Nicely done, Tony.

I have had it on all day...the only downside is that the cubes are so small I need to refill about once every hour or so. I need to freeze a big block of ice for my next work day. :cool:

I think it will work better with a big block of ice than cubes...i just put a 3 gallon pot of water in the freezer, I work again on Saturday so it should be frozen solid by then :D

Copper tubing in a spiral layout on a fan and then running into a cooler of ice with a water pump to circulate the ice cold water.....you give people enough time and they will rig up some interseting things.

Thank you for the tip. I never thought about it. There is no AC in our office either. There are days when temperature goes over 90 + humid.
