I'm not using the batteries now. They are for lanterns and three way flashlights, 4 fans that are about 12 inches square, put out a lot of air, water bottle/fans that lower ambient air around you by 20 degrees. I was comfortable, not hot, after Ike and it was hot summer Texas weather. One of the fans at night let me sleep without being hot.

I just found the directions to make a refrigerator out of two pottery pots. I'll take these directions and go to Lowes close to me and have someone there help me pick out the right kind pottery pots - can't be glazed pots. I'll make two or three of these refrigerators. Bigger and smaller.

Here's the link to the pottery refrigerators:

I used to call those butter dishes.

Thanks for the link. Did you buy your water bottle fan, or did you make it yourself? I remember we used to have these water cooler fans before the air conditioner came along, but they weren’t homemade.

The tips section claims that you can keep meat fresh for 2 wks. Also, that you only need 1 pot for liquids.
