You c'n fergit THAT!  Bone dry is the operative word under there!  Our
protracted drouth has buildings (including this'n) cracking and
crumbling as they settle into the fizzle dust.

-> Ay thoughts on that one?
KEEP THE WATER OFF THE CONDENSER COILS!  If'n you can cool the AIR the
condenser eats, that's great, but I ruint a condenser by spraying it
directly. I figgered that they got away with it in window units, so
could I with a central-air condenser.  TAINT SO!  The chemicals in the
water ATE the fins loose from the coils and the condenser went south!
Lost ALL its effectiveness and cost me a bundle to replace. (But at
least THEN I even HAD a little money.....)
Can't EVEN afford to run it these days.  Takes EIGHT tons to cool this
barn in this climate.
