I called BMIR this year to pimp eplaya a bit. They recognized my name and contributions and were very exited that I had called. They wanted me to come back and said I wouldn't have to lift a finger and they would supply everything for my burn. They would take care of everything. I couldn't possibly ...

For those of you doing box or unicoolers, coating the water reservoir area with flex seal will stop any leaks.

Tried google again and it was right there at the top.

It wasn't yesterday.

Say somebody wants to do something that they've thought about and asked everybody but their grandpa how to do it.

Grandpa is old, so they didn't ask him, but he knows absolutely everything about what they want to do.

And the easiest way to do it.

That's what I think of when I think of ePlaya. :D

I think I found out why there is so little traffic on this forum the last few years.

Out of curiosity I just googled ePlaya and the forum doesn't even show up as an option. :roll:

...eplaya was loaded with questions about the burn at this time of year.

I guess everybody knows it ALL now.

Great to see you're still around!!!

On January 6th you could threaten anybody and carry all the guns you wanted.

So it goes.

Yea, the time from gravel to gate finally dropped below 8 hours since opening on sunday. :shock:

Things always slow down in the summer.

This year more so.

I haven't sold or move a plant in months.

Like everything, this is both a blessing and a curse.

I don't have to go out in the heat, but I'm not making a dime. :lol:

Another interesting start on the playa this year

The main reason I designed the cooler is that there are sooooo many amazing things going on 24/7 that burners can sometimes be overwhelmed and not realize they've been up for a couple of days. Then it hits them at two in the afternoon that they HAVE to sleep. Or they dance all night and stay up for ...

Back window works well as it lets the air flow freely through the entire space.

As for your rv, the easiest way to mount it is a narrow shelf in front of one of the rv windows.

The cooler is inside the space with the pad side against the screen.

This keeps it removable easily for other uses.

messer, you live in Tucson. I live in Apache Junction. When I grew up in Mesa (in the stone age) all we had on the house was a swamp cooler. Even now with AC, I use a swamp cooler as long as the humidity is 10% or less since it saves me $4 a day in power and works just as well. Yesterday was 107 wit...

There's a lot to unpack here. 100cfm is not going to do what you want. We've found that the fan [model afb1212she 1.60 amps 190cfm] is the minimum for an affective bucket cooler. Since the bucket is outside the space, I'd be surprised if you noticed the noise. I don't think it will cool enough to tr...

The bucket is slightly tapered, so the pad "tube" will be about a 1/4 inch from the sides of the bucket where the holes are.

If the pad comes in contact with the holes, the water may find a way out.

I would consider that a large tent.

Even if it is under shade, the bucket will only help a little.

The blue pad is all you need as a filter.

Anything more will just block air flow.

Any dust in the bucket settles to the bottom in a thin layer and will be fine.

The bucket works fine for a small tent.

The unicooler is for larger spaces that need a lot more air flow.

Any year you can manage to go....... Is worth it!!!

I hope they're resting in peace and not spinning in they're graves.

Just watched this doc that I hope you find as interesting as I did.

On amazon prime if you've got it.

I'm wondering if this is a cheap knockoff, but the price doesn't reflect that.

Tried to post pics, but error message says the file is to large.

I no longer pay for a site I can post pics from, but this is the stuff. https://growerssolution.com/products/70-aluminet-shade-cloth?variant=40784710369461&country=US¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8c...

Just rescued a 20x45 edged aluminet shade tarp.

Nowhere anywhere have I read that aluminet can shed micro-silver glitter with age.

It does, and now my driveway looks like a pound of this stuff is everywhere.

Moop much??

did you try craiges list?

It worked well for me.
