The Stock Exchange Here in Colorado the average temperature around midday is now above 90 degrees...every day. Pah, say you folks in Arizona. But for me, it's way too hot for comfort. So I tracked down some stellar bargains to help me (and of course, you) keep cool as the summer continues.

A famous statement by floridians.
Try 90's with 90% humidity my friend! Nights it "cools" down to 80's! The rain does not cool us down, rather acts like a steam bath and makes it feel hotter!!! And, we haven't even reached our worst month yet...AUGUST is the hottest month in these parts!
Man, if I had a yard, I'd have one of those puppies. Fer sure. And we haven't even had a vague warm summer here in Seattle.
I have a pool similar to the one shown in the pictures (it's actually a little larger) and there's no way you can get that up in 15 minutes unless:
1. You have a perfectly horizontal surface (more than 2" drop from one side to the other & I guarantee a kid will dump 70% of the water out by accidentally leaning on the low side). It took me a day to build a sandpit to put ours on (including building a frame, filling with sand, and leveling the sand).
2. You have a fire hose to fill it in 15 minutes or less; ours takes 6 hours with 2 regular hoses & street pressure.
having said that it's a life saver we're on our 3rd year now and the kids (and therefore the wife) love it! Just remember to stay on top of the chemical treatment or it will turn green in a week!
