[Accrs-ho] New swamp cooler update

[ACCRS HO Scale]

I spent some time at the fair today and completed the new swamp cooler installation.  The float or water level was set followed by a successful trial run.  I left it with the water on and the unit plugged in, so it is operational.  It is hard wired so it comes on without having to use a remote.

Thanks to John, Mark, Tony, Joel, and yours truly (I hope I didn't miss anyone), the new swamp cooler is in place on the HO side of the building.  There are a few detail clean ups to do and it hasn't been thoroughly tested, so we left it unplugged.  The fair maintenance department responded well with an assist with a forklift which made light work of the lift to bracket level.  We initially ran into an unexpected problem when we noticed the cab 3 monitor had been installed exactly where the swamp cooler mounting brackets had been previously installed on the outside of the wall.  We had to disconnect and move the monitor north about 6 feet.  Consequently, it will need to be electrically reconnected.  We will leave that task to the "trons".  It may need a longer coaxial cable and extension cord.  The safety strap is up by the coal mine.  

The only injury occurred when I fell over the extension ladder which was laying on it's edge on the ground.  Hip, shoulder, and right hand hit the black top pretty hard.  I think the shoulder took most of the impact with second place going to the lower thumb area of the hand.  This is another reason why someone else can hook up the monitor.  Everything hurts today.
