Brendon_t Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 For Father's day, I bought myself an LG self contained 12'000 btu AC unit specifically for the garage. Life got in the way so I hasn't installed it yet. Monday, I returned home from a 2 day fishing trip to find that my lovely wife, had dragged that heavy a$$ box upstairs, and set it up in our master bedroom. We have 18 foot ceilings and yes it gets super hot up there but come on. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Give her 2 choices 1) she can drag it back downstairs and be uncomfortable sleeping 2) you get her blessing to go buy another 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Sorry Brendon........I'm still laughing! I might suggest just cranking the temp way down at night and get some quality snuggling in. You gotta give her kudos for her initiative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brendon_t Posted July 8, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yeah, I guess I should have put a big sign on it saying "nacho ac"... I've gotta say, I was a bit surprised. She found these paper things inside the box and apparently, when you read those papers, they tell you how to do things. She ducted it out the window, installed the insulation tape and installed a latch to secure the window closed. . She's screwed next time she says I need to change a light bulb. . Ha ha. Gotcha.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted July 8, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Brendon, I never in a million years would have told that story! You've got life by the yang yang and you're griping? How many guys here would kill for a wife that can install an a/c while their husband is off fishing, even if it is in the wrong location 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many guys here would kill for a wife that can install an a/c while their husband is off fishing, even if it is in the wrong location I just would like to be able to go fishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yeah, I married a girl that would never steal my gift. Initiative on her part looks like a garage sale, followed by a purchase of the same model AC (an attempt at trusting judgement.). I am not sure I could trust someone who just helped themself to my purchase without conversation. Seems off to me. Oh well, takes all types.

Mzdadoc Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 What's this unit look like? Can you send a link. Our new house garage doesn't have windows. My wife has a very heavy AC unit her brother gave her before we got married that you duct out of a window but not the whole window. Would my unit work in the garage ducting it under the door???

Mzdadoc Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 That's basically what I have. Would anyone advice cutting through my garage wall to install it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 That's my plan. If I ever get it back. I'll proabably make a little through wall box out of ply that the duct will fit on the inside and a small gravity closing shuttered vent cover for the outside. A friend down the road ducted his ac unit outside without a closing vent and a group of wasps decided to build up a nest in the tube.. not my cup of tea.

Just get another one, I bet the fishing trip cost as much as that unit, it would me anyway, I get zero paid time off and when I am not working out side I'm in some foundry some where so Im thinking if I had to choose I would rather sleep well. I think it is very cool the wife took the initiative to do it, not in my house… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when the cats away! Haha don't think I didn't go there.. And being that the hose keeps falling out due to it being improperly attached and the plastic piece it fits into is loose within the opening, I'm pretty sure my spot as head tinkerer is safe.
