We've used that in my family for years, but did a small job for my elderly parents a week ago and Mum asked how much did I charge? I said "Free 99" (I think I heard that on Matt's channel) and she said "I've only got a ten. Will that be okay?" Had to explain it to her. Felt bad too! As if I'd bill my parents!

[@robertutech1685]

Paul, being an old time AC guy. You should have angled the air flow up or just straight out. Cool air drops since it is heavier than warm air, you would get better mixing of the air across the shop.

[@thelunatick1993]

Add a low velocity fan to move the air.

[@trailwest3416]

I came here to comment the same thing.

[@thelunatick1993]

Didn’t watch the entire install But comment is failure to install flashing Buildings going to leak. Whether from rain/snow. Or that swamp cooler. Healthy building start with keeping that water out of the wall and tools below. Fix it now fabrats

[@treborheminway3814]

Hey Paul, when you fix the fan bearing, can you show us how your swamp box works. Many people who don't live in dry, not climates haven't heard of them. I was fascinated to learn about them as a kid when I moved to Texas. I think your explanation style would be perfect for the easy to understand essentials. Maybe ask Michelle for her description first?

[@mattmanyam]

Evaporative cooling. The phase-change that occurs when water evaporates requires heat... It takes the heat from the air, leaving cooler air to come through to the shop. Only worth the effort in low humidity.

[@ronwilken5219]

Don't confuse us even more by asking Michelle for her description which'll probably be along the line of "air cooler thingamebob." But I'm with you. What's a swamp cooler??. I have visions of a cool, mosquito laden breeze that chills you enough that you don't realise that the mosquitoes are puncturing your skin with sufficient frequency to guarantee, malaria, ebola, swamp fever, berrie berrie or some other vial disease man has yet to invent or discover. Put us out of our inquisitive state. Regards from Canada's banana belt. Also a malarial area. 🤞🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇦🕊️🇺🇲❓❓👍

[@jesseleesamples]

I was about to ask how this thing works, I wish he would’ve explained it but it’s probably a common thing there and doesn’t seem worth explanation. I’ve never seen anybody put such a thing in their shop but I live in the northeast so maybe it doesn’t work good here in. I assume since he said it needed a water line that it evaporates water to cool somehow but idk if that would work in areas with more humidity

[@ronwilken5219]

@@jesseleesamples I'm assuming it works by evaporating the water and extracting heat that way. In Africa we used to have canvas water bags that you hung anywhere convenient on you vehicle. The water seeped through the canvas very slowly and the evaporation would cool it dramatically and vehicular motion would add the breeze. Only thing was that you had to soak them for a week before to make them waterproof. Otherwise they worked very well. Here in SW Ontario it would be useless. We're surrounded by open water and the humidity can be horrendous. Only place I know if that adds the "humidex" to the actual temperature in the summer so 30°C feels like 40°C if you get my drift. We'll see if Paul explains .

My Dad passed away almost a year ago but this segment reminds of the day when he had built an air conditioner before they were available commercially. Made from iron bed frames and whatever could be sourced from his stash, it was heavy as a barra full of cement. We got it up into the closest window of the house, somehow. When Hunter was holding the swamp cooler in, flash back when I was doing just that, but my Dad said just hang on to that and I'll be back, I should have gotten a signed written agreement about WHEN he'd be back. It felt like a ' Few hours later ' I was alot younger than Hunter at the time. The air con worked on its bed frame platform but Mum said it looked ugly and ordered it out of the window. My suggestion to watch it fall out the window but nope Dad Suggested we man handle it out like we did when it went in. I managed to live through that exercise. I had one more suggestion that day and it was why dont we put in the shop! Dad said no it looks too ugly! 😵‍💫

I have some night vision on my rzr. There is nothing more entertaining than cruising down some mountain trails near some campsites and watch people stand up and look out 100ft behind you as you cruise on by! Plus, just a ton of fun and exciting for the kids to see at night. When it's pitch black for everyone else. I have the same night vision set up, it's a great product

[@augieschultz2530]

Swamp coolers are my favorite way to cool a house in the desert. Much cheaper to run and it feels better to me than a/c does. The smell of those new pads every year signals the start of summer to me. Enjoy your cool air.

"not like there's anything flammable on that shelf right??"

[@sharoncdresser9539]

okay just a random idea to turn your swamp cooler into an Aircon. find two radiators sitting around your not using, fit one either side of the enclosure over the fan intakes. and seal up the rest of the box, connect the two radiators up to each other and than run two ends into your shop, fab up a steel or ally box you can create a large opening in the top off to fill with ice. hook up a water pump to circulate the ice water through the radiators and you have cheap AC

Paul's now speaking my language. Low light driving is really awesome!! Wait until Hunter learns there's an adapter that let's you use the GoPro to record what you see through night vision. AGM makes some cool gear. You can get even a Thermal camera to mount on your vehicle that you can see what's outside from inside.

Night vision changes everything, especially when you're trying to find someone, you're not limited by the field of view of the headlight/spotlights

[@infinit12]

Driving with night vision is not even remotely as good as lights. Having them in kit is great for when not driving.

[@Chris_at_Home]

Where I live it is against the law to use any electronic means to hunt. Not cell phones and cell phone camera, no radios to talk to fellow hunters when tracking and no night vision or infrared devices.

[@randycarothers7654]

​@@infinit12I disagree. But like all things, it depends.

[@nja1081]

@@infinit12 to each their own opinion, lights are great, but they cast shadows behind obstacles, whereas night vision amplifies ambient light and you won't have the same problem. Also lights give better visibility within a specific field of view whereas night vision offers a 40 to 180 degree field of vision. I am partial based on my personal Military experience where I've driven with night vision almost as often as white lights through all types of austere environments

[@nja1081]

Shoebox story. My dad had an auto repair shop in N. Miami during the 1960’s and ‘70s and most of his work was GM primarily Cadillacs. Sometime in the early 70’s he got hold of a mid 60’s Nova and surprise, surprise he happens to have a 500ci engine in his shop. Well he wedged that engine into the Nova with some metalwork and battery relocation, kept it sleeper looking. I’ll always remember that car, black with red vinyl seats and dog dish hubcaps.

Most security camera's (even the super cheep ones) can pick up IR. You can get IR light bars as well. Mount you a small wired security cam on the front and use that huge radio screen. Cool thing about that is a security camera also does a decent job during the day. So you'd have a front cam to see around that hood. Pretty rugged and you can get them that pan and tilt.. Just cuz it wasn't meant to do it, don't always mean it can't...=)
