Keeping cool (or at least not as hot) - help needed!

[silkeysandra]

Just went shopping for mister ideas--home depot here is out of mist appliances so we went next to Northern Tool off I20 & Great SW Pky. Got a cool (literally) mister attachment that zip ties onto a fans wire front for 12 smackers! Bought their small black wire front fan for 29, and walked out with a non-oscillating outfit for under 50 bucks!
The mister might fit any fan like a box fan or other you have already. We only had a big box fan but for garage cooling, so another fan was needed. Works fabulous! might sit with chickeys just to enjoy the mist myself!
thout you all would want to know!

Thanks for the mister heads up! Need to see if I can find such a thing around here.

As for the window, it's an old building (although newer siding makes it look nicer). I think it used to have a "door" for the chickens to get in/out before the siding was put on. anyway, I literally removed the top header board and side board and the window simply lifted out. Other than shutting easily, it's not that bad. I used staples to attach the wire, so when winter comes, I'll put the window back in. I don't plan on using it again til next year for chicks (probably start getting them earlier in the spring so I can do heritage breed turkeys and have plenty of time for them to grow before thanksgiving (vs the commercial broad breasted ones).
