Actually we rarely get to 115, but it does happen. Then I spend my day
spraying the hose on my livestock so they can survive.
Swamp coolers don't work well with high humidity. What I am doing is to
keep the metal roof cool so heat does not build up and come inside, that is
all.

Hi Kim,
I'm fairly new to the list and have been lurking for a bit. The comment
about the air conditioner was just that at that time they had almost
not heard of air conditioners. I realize that Texas is HOT. I wouldn't
work at 115F, let alone my computer.
You mentioned you spray water on the roof for cooling. Does that work
using evaporation something like a swamp cooler? The best explanation
of how a swamp cooler works I have run across is at
http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/homeandwork/homes/inside/
heatandcool/evaporative_coolers.html . There is a chart on the page
showing how effective a swamp cooler is under different temperatures
and humidity. It may be helpful.

I do have a wood stove for heat in the winter, and yes I do know how to
cook on it. I am planning on building a wood bread oven for outdoor
baking
in the summer. Ohio is not Texas, where the temperatures can hit over
115F, so AC is necessary, not just a luxury. I only cool my place to
about
80F. Any warmer and my computer refuses to work.
Bright Blessings,
Kim
