Swamp coolers suck and are terrible options if you do not plan on being within about 15 feet of the actual machine.

Heaven help you if you are heading to the other side of the house or even down in the basement.

I basically had to sleep on the floor really close to the hallway most nights. It was the only way I could cool down.
Swamp coolers rock. Place it in a strategic location on the roof and get a couple of ceiling fans going and life is good.

Perhaps your in-laws located theirs in a poor spot intentionally as a subtle hint that they'd rather you not visit?

You may be onto something there.

When we visit in the winter, it is always freezing in the basement and the heater doesn't work well down there.

Hmm....

If that's the case, you can hang at my place. The garage is the same temp in summer and winter.

She is one of them. And the guy who lives in the house where I thought you lived too.
