How to...

...Get a swamp cooler on your roof.

First get a few guys together.
Have two of them be not so fond of being up high (Ty and Travis)
Then wrap tie downs around boxed swamp cooler.


Then have a discussion on what kind of knot to tie. Thinking real hard back to your boy scout days. Then try to remember how exactly to tie knot decided on.

After rope is tied to box. Have two guys climb on the roof. And one guy stays on the ground.

Get ready to pull and push the gigantic box up the ladder.

And pull.

And push. Hoping the knot in the rope holds and you don't get smashed.

And all together now.

Keep going. Its a tall house.

A little farther.

Almost.

One last little shove.

And its on the roof. With no one falling off or getting smashed. Pretty successful.

Drag box to correct spot.

Time to unwrap.

All ready to get it in place.

Tyler, Travis, and Blake. (our two neighbors) spent all day Saturday getting our new swamp cooler in place. After a few adjustments they got it to fit perfectly. Now all we have left is to run a new water line and get power to it. Good thing its a long weekend for Ty. The poor guy has so much to do before the baby comes. Thanks so much to Travis and Blake for spending their Saturday helping Tyler.
