Ok Julie. I think I have the perfect solution.
Actually I have 2 solutions. First one is to buy an air conditioner.
It doesn't have to be a whole house one, just small enough to take
off the heat and humidity.

Here's a replacement for your expensive swamp coolers.
The theory is to add moisture into a hot dry environmenr, rigth"

Here's my plan. You said one of your freezers only contains blue ice
things.

Put two of them in a shallow container, a 9X13 baking dish or even a
cookie sheet with sides. Put a small fan to blow right across them. As
the blue ice warms, it will sweat. With the low humidity, the fan
blowing across them will help to add moisture to your air and it will
be cold air too. This will work. Every hour or two replace the blue ice
with more from your freezer full. Rotate your blue ice.

Now it's your turn. Tell me why this won't work.
