Death Valley Life #1: Sneak Peek/ Spending the First Night at My New Desert Hideaway!

[@m35a2ww]

I know it has been a week since you posted this, I have been out of town, but go back to Home Depot and buy the silver bubble insulation. It works wonders, used it in the Havasu house. Yes, ALL the cracks need to be sealed to keep things out, the scorpions are attracted to water, used to find them in the shower in the Havasu place before the place was gone over with a fine tooth comb, you can't use spray foam, the bugs will eat through it, wood and caulking work best. If there is ANY water dripping/leaking to the outside, critters of all types will be a constant issue, let no water pool on the ground, like at the swamp cooler. And I am sorry you don't like to squash/kill the critters, but you will most likely need to do some spraying to keep them out. Wait until it rains, the ants will find a way in! AND, if you will be away from the compound for any length of time, turn off the water supply to the house. It sucks to come back and find that the toilet/sink line or valve failed while you were gone and flooded the house. Luckily, the heat makes things evaporate quickly!

[@July4.1776]

There should be a waterline going to the swamp cooler. Make sure the water line is on… also, make sure the pads are in good shape! sincerely, HVAC guy

A prospector "neighbor" (the closest was five miles away, and he wasn't the closest) that walked out to the Victor Valley from Missouri told me as a kid, when we first moved here, to never put on shoes without first dumping and shaking them. About two weeks after sharing that tidbit with my sisters, one of them dumped her shoe, and a scorpion fell out.

[@mathewrupp8568]

My mom's cousin, who lived in the Mojave Desert near little Rock, learned that lesson the hard way. She got stung one morning putting on her slippers, her foot swelled up and was very panful.

AC works opposite of a swamp cooler. AC removes humidity and a swamp cooler adds moisture. Just keep that bedroom door closed when you have both on.

The compound looks good so far. Get an ultraviolet flashlight to inspect for scorpions, it's the only way you can see them hiding around your house.

[@briang70]

Good idea. We lived in the redwoods and the scorpions are black, huge and can find a way into your house. Bought a "scorpion kit" which consisted of a short-handled tennis racket looking device which was electrified by batteries and the UV flashlight. Those scorpions glow like your white clothing does at a rave with black lights. Be Careful!!

Like to see more when...? The Travertine [natural stone] on wall looked decent too but can use a slight cleaning. Kitchen backsplash didn't see enough per light glare. Floors later...? Try; that can of spray foam stuff to seal those edgings of openings & other nooks & crannies, make air tight & keep the bugs & other out! So, when you're ready? Good luck to you & sis, be safe, see ya later...

Evaporative(swamp) coolers are the best a/c choice in the desert. Below 30 % humidity they are very effective. Lower the humidity, the colder the swamp cooler gets. Annually replace pads, clean and spray on sealer inside cabinet, and run a oversize water pump(10,000cfm rated pump). Annual service and they last ten years. Run 24 hrs a day, uses very little power. Way cheaper than refrigerated air. Window a/c in bedroom close door at night and leave swamped on all night to cool rest of house.just a few tips. Enjoy your new place, an awesome place e for you and sister.

[@thomasdobbins3885]

Living in Phoenix proper ... I have a leak or two where an occasional lizard enters my home, finding them occasionally in my bathroom. I welcome them in my house, (as I do daddy long legs spiders) as they eat bugs that fly in or also find gaps to sneak in. A pet lizard having the freedom to walk about your home is a great thing ... let them in. I haven't found a down side yet of lizards as guests.

[@ronaldstarkey4336]

We have lizards also... they are great little pets... lol

[@Katseye102]

Ya, doors need to be replaced, and weather stripped. The swamp cooler, I’ll tell you what ours, (it’s actually a side-vent) it’s not as wide as a regular huge swamp cooler, and very efficient power wise. Open a window a crack on the opposite side of the house for air flow. It will drop your power bill substantially! A little moisture in a very dry desert is helpful to keep cool. You will be glad you have it! The window AC comes in handy when it’s not 100+ degrees outside and no breeze to blow thru the house. For scorpions plant lavender around the house, scorpions don’t like it and won’t bother you. Beautiful house!! So excited for you and your sister!! So many adventures to come!!

Hey Wonderhussy, swamp coolers are way cheaper to operate than an air conditioner, I would use the swamp cooler to cool the house during the day and supplement with the air conditioner at night. Also you can get what's called an up-duct that opens up when you turn on the swamp cooler that keeps from having to cracking open your windows, my dads house had one.

[@lunakat5763]

Great tip I really hope Sarah goes through the comments. People are leaving some good suggestions.

Here's a little information for you you don't want to run a swamp cooler and an air conditioner the same time a swamp cooler put water into the air and air condition takes the moisture out of the air they are working against each other run one or the other

[@driftlesshermit]

As long as the bedroom door is shut where the air conditioner is it won't matter.

[@jennylankford2078]

I had a swamp cooler and an air conditioner in Phoenix... We used the swamp cooler all year EXCEPT for July and August when it was so sweltering hot the Swamp cooler was useless... and we turned the A/C on during July & August... our elect bill was always several hundred $$ dollars less than our friends who used only A/C cooling..

However definitely get the weather strips, I actually got stung by the same scorpion 🦂 , got home late and didn't do a bed sweep and woke up at 5 am from what felt like a hot needle, then was paralyzed for 4 days!!! Couldn't even get myself to help!!! Was living close, but in very southern AZ...lots of snakes, scorpions, that beast of a hornet you squashed, and YES , THERE STING IS VERY PAINFUL!!!! So get in a habbit of doing a bed sweep before you get in because them scorpions love cool dark places like inside of boots so tap them too before you put your shoes on!

The best thing to not get stung by a scorpion is to check to make sure they aren't in your shoes, when I did desert training in the United States Air Force, they tell you to thump your shoes on the ground as hard as possible to get the scorpions out of your shoes, if not you might even have a small but deadly Mojave green rattlesnakes in your shoes as well, that's the one to be afraid of, scorpions won't kill you, but the string hurts like hell.

Get a mini split air conditioning system. They are cheaper than central AC and they run at about 50 percent of the cost of central AC. You an air condition just one room at a time, or two rooms or three or all of them. It's a few thousand bucks, but they really do save on your power bill. WAY better than a swamp cooler. AND, during the winter time they are also a heat pump, so you save o heating too. They do a great job at both. I like the Mr. Cool Mini Split system. You cam get one at Home Depot. Mitsubishi and LG make a great system too. The Mr. Cool is designed for home owner installation - no need to hire am installer if you have a handy friend.

An AC is a fan and a compressor. The fan moves the air, the compressor cools it. ts the compressor on an AC that uses the most power. A swamp cooler is a fan, an evaporative pad, a water source, and sometimes a recirculating pump for the water. None of those are expensive to run compared to the compressor on an AC. So high or low on the fan on a swamp cooler is not much difference in cost. Its a powerful house fan. Cheap to run. One added cost for an swamp cooler is water. That cost depends on what your water source is.

Looks nice! Congrats! Check your attic insulation for proper amounts during the winter. Also probably install a/c ducts in the attic for cooling and heating in the summer and winter during the winter peirod. Door jam may not be square.

Get yourself a black light to check for scorpions around your property at night. They are florescent under UV and easy to spot. Hand held UV lights are cheap and easy to find on the web.

Looks like an incredible place for solar ⚡️

True. This is actually a location where solar panels will provide reliable power. Mostly sunny I’m thinking. 🤔
