How to be cool
One problem I've always seen
with these window air conditioners was the limited choices a house or
trailer might have when looking for an appropriate installation spot.
I've had several of these
through the years and I often found myself standing in front of it so I
could receive the full effect of the chilled air thinking it sure would
be nice to have this artificial cool breeze blowing on me over there in
that chair.
It took Anna and me a little
over 2 hours to make the above custom fit. Now I can sit within inches
of the Arctic winter blast.

When I was in Singapore once, I got a terrible cold from switching between the equatorial heat and humidity and the air-conditioned hotel (that felt like it was freezing in comparison) several times a day.
OTOH, I've worked in an office under a tin roof where the temperature would get up to 100 F in the summer (without A/C). I was very glad when we got airco there!
