We might be homeschoolers....

Or we might be just plain ol' rednecks.

This is what was happening in our "room of learning"
while I was cooking up a scrumptious dinner last night. 

THIS contraption is what I found in our master bedroom
after the scrumptious dinner.

 A few years ago, we closed in the garage to make a lovely master bedroom but it gets the last trickle of cold air from the a/c unit AND is on the hottest, sunniest end of the house. Since Summer has decided to get an early start on the three-digit temps down here in the south of Georgia, we are working ovetime to keep the room cool.....three fans blowing, blinds and curtains closed, extra insulation in the attic, etc. 

The Hero has a lightbulb moment....He did a little google research, spent less than ten dollars and mostly used things we had. He and The Boy together created the lovely, the beautiful, the "won't take up too much space", homemade air conditioner, pictured above. 

Does it work? Well, as long as there is ice in the cooler it sorta works. 

But no matter if it works or not, all three kids were involved at some point in the process and listened intently as Hero explained his method behind the madness. I personally loved the Daddy being the teacher and the group working together on the project......whether it actually works or not!!

Now....where are those pictures of the Redneck Snow Machine they made a few winters ago........
