The air conditioner is in and ready. I've had this puppy for about 8 years now and while it's not attractive and a bit unwieldy and not terribly efficient, it has saved my hot sweaty ass every year an I'm so grateful.
I only have one option for the exhaust hose and that's the sliding door. The first year I created a frame for the hose out of foam core - it was a horribly messy and very ugly affair. The next year, I remembered this old cat door that I had gotten on sale one year. The cats never liked it and I never really needed it. So I cut out the flap and used it. It took me several years to find the best way to modify it and finally I hit on foam. You can see how I did it in 2003.
But, this year, I tidied up my act considerably. I'm quite proud. 2003 on the left. 2005 on the right.
