Check On Repairing Instead Of Replacing

While we have central air conditioning that we primarily use, in summer months. At one time, we only used a "swamp cooler" (an evaporative cooler), but not your basic one. Since we not longer use the swamp cooler, we keep it covered with a specially designed cover. Upon recently checking, the company we'd gotten our cover from has gone out of business and we'd not found a replacement for ours that the sun had rotted some of the threading holding it together. Considering this, it could prove more costly than we wanted to spend at this time. My husband had the bright idea of taking it to a recently opened laundry. He talked to the attendant that in her past had been quite handy with a sewing machine, much unlike us. We picked the swamp cooler cover up today, for the cost of $5.00 (wash, quick drying and resewing the seams). We're in awe, needless to say!
