New England summer is at the door but this summer is going to be cooler in my house for once, I hope. I been preparing for over a month, searching high and low and all over the place til I couldn't stand it anymore, 3 weeks ago I finnaly pick one and bought this AC at Walmart, a discontinued model at HD for some reason and Lowes never carried it>>>>>> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Frigidai...h-Temperature-Sensing-Remote-Control/49844568
I wanted 10,000 BTU for my 375' SF room, and the issue I had was max window opening of 25", so had to take a few models back out of the cart. HD was the hardest place to figure the width out, on some models had to go to WM or Amazon to get the width verification, what a pain. Almost as bad as lifting that monstrosity into the window, how do people do it, I cant do that when I'm 80. I might have to build a box around it for winter survival, but I'll cross that snow bank when I get to it, Now I'm just waiting for summer to show after this blessed day, what a beautiful day it was here.
As usual I had to do some tweaking to get the AC to sit and fit snug-ish, the side panels didn't fit right at all, I took-em on the saw table for some read neck adjustment, made a long block to go in the window sil for the AC to sit on, not much support for a heavy AC on my 20 year old HD vinyl window frames. And then the AC bracket I did like, it holds as long there's not the slightest upward movement, so I screwed a block under that, now it wont come down unless it pulls my wall over............
