It’s summer time, and there’s warmth, sunshine, and do-it-yourself projects to look forward to. Let’s face it, there’s nothing to love about a summer day when the air is hot and stale — whether your neck of the woods is dry or humid. No one wants to put up with hot flashes even if we absolutely have to. To top it off, it’s so expensive to have the ac running all day, let alone getting one installed! So we’re getting a little creative help from our friends at HouseholdHacker. It turns out there is a great way to turn a hot and stale summer into a fresh and cool vacation!

The consensus is a DIY air conditioner that costs less than you probably spend on food in a day. You read that right! An eight-dollar air conditioning system that takes 10 minutes to build and changes the way you experience your summer!

“I’m no handyman!” you must be thinking, “How can I possibly build an AC system?” Don’t sweat it! I thought the same thing, but the reality is that there is just as much to love in a DIY AC than one crafted in a factory, if not more!

It’s simple. With a styrofoam ice cooler, a couple of dryer vents, a fan, and some crafty cutting-skills, you are well on your way to saving thousands of dollars in electricity and installation fees. Watch the video below and prepare to be amazed!
