yes, I ve done seomething similar when I was first married and we had an apt, no a/c living off an air base. I would make ice cubes all day, (had those metal pull trays, lol) kept rubbing alcohol in the fridge. When we went to bed, showered, rubbed down w/ rubbing alch, put the cubes in a shallow basin (so they were spread out), put the basin on a chair at the foot of the bed and put a small table fan behind the basin to blow on low acoss the cubes and up the bed and slept fine all night. sharet
