Thanks Julie and TL. Me too. I got a refrigerator out of the same place back in 2005. And this is just one of the few programs that I'm eligible for and encouraged to apply for. I don't know if the a/c is central or window based, but I'll find out.

I'm dreading the next 3 to 4 weeks, temps inside will reach almost 95F at most(I hope), while outside the temp for Friday is supposed to be 91F/33C, there is no working a/c or swamp cooler here at all. I just called My contact at the CAPSBC and He said He'd see if they could authorize cooling help this early. Turns out He has the go ahead, though He doesn't know if it will be a/c or a swamp cooler and He doesn't know how long it will take to get this started, He's filling out the paperwork at least. I think I'll make a bucket of ice and put that in front of the big floor fan(there is a chair that is at fan height, right in front of the fan, perfect)...

How to make a 5 gallon ice bucket air conditioner.

Well I don't even have the tools, much less the liner or the other parts, nice try, I'm making ice now.

I admit a plastic bucket is a bit tough to cut through. I have seen videos using styrofoam ice chests instead.
But hey. Use what you got. Beats not having anything.

I called My contact back and said I have Osteoarthritis, a swamp cooler won't help and can make Me hurt, I asked for a real 12000 BTU window air conditioning unit that would fit in a 19" casement/sliding window opening, 12000 BTU's is good enough to cool 640sqft and since I have 500sqft and at least 1 PC, a TV and a few other devices, that's what I need. He said He'd try to get one.

opening a window doesn't help when it's 90° outside and no wind...

Or even when the windows are open and the temp inside is 92°F. Currently the temp outside is 56°F, inside the temp is 71°F, predicted high temp outside 89°F, inside might get to 91°F or so and yes all the windows are open, all 3 of them.

@ Janneseti: Yes a/c is air conditioning.

No moth here:)
I live in a city.

Whether report...
Overcast late in the evening and in the night. Rain passes over the eastern part of the area. Tomorrow will probably some clouds linger over Södermanland and Uppland during the morning, but in the afternoon chances to sun weather throughout the area. Temperature in the night 0-4 degrees, tomorrow 5-10. Westerly wind.

The problem is Janne that in the North of England it is still seen as a traditional sport, and big money changes hands on bets. The RSPCA are fighting hard but at present it is a losing battle. There will need to be a society change of attitude before it gets stopped.

Thats awful. And Fox hunting. Is that legal today? 2015?
Sport to chase fox until they die of terror?

oops this is getting political.

Once there where a fox outside my grandma's house.
He/she came to me when I brought a sausage.
She took it and buried it in the garden for later:)

Officially no, but it still goes on because the Government and the police can't be bothered to enforce the law. That is why I joined the Hunt Saboteurs.

Just because something was once a way of life does not mean it is right. We live in a modern, progressive society and allowing dogs to chase and kill wild animals for entertainment is simply not acceptable
