I have a small window AC unit in my 40x40 hangar. It will keep it around 72 degrees even on a 100 degree day. My hangar is well insulated also. I think I paid under $300 for the unit. Don

AC units available for a couple hundred bucks. If no window, mount it in an old door.
Hahaha, 88F. I thought Joe said it was hot there. It was 104 here yesterday with a dewpoint of 69F. Heck, 88F is Great weather to work in!

Default Small Window A/C unit

IMHO - builder comfort has a lot to do with the quality of work (as well as motivation). Just look at the A/C unit as one of the required tools for the build. You can get small units at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. I bought one at Lowes for less than $200 a couple of years ago for my shop. Best $$$ I ever spent. I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

Default I fired the poor man

I got something like this. Keeps me cool where I am and is relatively portable.

I think DR had a post at one point about some plastic curtain he put up in his hangar to keep him cool while working on the website. You might hunt around for that. This summer, I may do something like that too.
