Thanks! I really can't wait, I wish I didn't have to be patient for so long!

The person we got it from probably gave us the wrong dimensions

That's not the exact one we have, it was just the first one I found that has the same style. The one we have came off a large school playground, I believe it's 18 feet in diameter and nearly six feet tall? We wanted to make a "living room" type space, we will have a camper to actually dwell in. This...

I'm new here, but some of y'all are calling me DD...so I'm DD.. I apologize if this topic has been covered before, I'm not having luck with searches right now. I have noticed that a lot of folks use the dome design. As it turns out I have a school grade play dome gifted to us a while back. I assume ...

I'm in Silver Springs, I include Fernley because I spend all my time and money there and no one knows where silver springs is, lol.

He's not into events of any kind...not even events geared towards things he enjoys

DD is fine, I didn't come up with a new name because I forget then can't log in, lol

Lol, Delle, I was laughing about that too. The original BM veteran

My husband says he's ok with it, that he's only upset because he's worried about child care while I'm gone. I truly hope he gains some understanding. I would love for the first time ever to hear "have a great time" sincerely.

You can text from out there?

I'd hope that this thread doesn't fill with failure stories, but instead focuses on how to grow personally in a direction that a loved one may not understand without that change creating a wedge between you. (because in the end, it's fine if he doesn't Adopt it, but it would be important that he at...

Thanks for the welcome

I did search, I wasn't having any luck. I know lots of people go without spouses, but I was really curious how many go without the spouse being happy about it.

I'm planning to go for the first time next year and my husband is not thrilled. Even if we won the lottery and never had to worry about money again, Burning Man would just NOT be his thing, not in the least. The fact of the matter is that we are pending divorce (maybe) and I finally decided to start...

1.3 and I am planning to duct it properly. We run swmpcoolers all the time, I understand how the airflow works. When i said "seal up my ducts" I mean sealing around them, making them so we can close them when we're gone etc. I do understand that the cooler needs an intake of fresh air from outside, ...

1.3 A, did I put 13? Oops! The Aspen pads are supposed to swell a bit actually, but maybe they are doing worse out on the playa. All I know is that last time I thought I could save a few bucks and bought the Aspen, we had to rip them out an hour later because we all developed severe allergies. Lucki...

Oh I'm using the blue pads for sure, the Aspen seems to trigger allergies in my experience. They also seem to break down and blow in the wind which seems like it would be MOOPy out there. I was actually planning to run it inside the trailer with ducting to drawn in the supply of fresh air, so I woul...

Holy cow, let me try this again without autocorrect making me crazy. OK, I would not be heartbroken if this cooler became a 'playa use only' cooler, but I am relatively certain that I can effectively clean it because the design is so simple. We actually have a "mini playa" about ten minutes from my ...

Well, to answer most of that...this cooler is a very simple design, I tear it down for cleaning every year.. Washing it down and swapping the pad out would easily clean it out to be used in my house again...and if not it's ok because I don't need it in my house anymore. We bought it when we lived in...

Hey everyone. I have a question about power supply for a portable swamp cooler. I'm trying to be self-reliant, but electricity is one area I just need very simple explanations. I was planning to build a portable swamp cooler but realized the bucket was was too small for our needs. Then I saw the pla...

Hey everyone, I'm Amanda and I'm new here. After years and years of hearing about adventures on the Playa, drooling over photos, and watching the Burners pass through town I have finally decided that 2015 is the time for me to join the festivities. I'm incredibly excited...to the point that I might ...
