So yeah. 66 studs or whatever = 22.625". Got the LG 5000 BTU unit. $179 @
FutureShop. Fits in window. Life should be good.
Brought it home, I just set it in the window out of impatience, and not
wanting to wait since I left all my tools at work and can't screw anything
together right now. I piled some boxes and shirts on top of it, to cover
the gap. I turn it on... ahhhhh. air.
Then, an hour later, I go back in my room, and my CARPET IS SOAKED and water
is like POURING out of the little bugger! So I freak out and try to pull
out the cord.
THEN I GET A SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SAW the spark leap from the plug to
my finger!!!!!
NOT NICE!!!!!!!!
So then I turn it off and yank the cord out by the cable, I'm so mad. So I
pick it up and carry it to the washroom, and water SPILLS EVERYWHERE. I
pour the remaining water down the sink.
So now this thing is siting in my washroom doing nothing, I have a soaked
carpet, and I'm all hot and sticky again and its GROSS OUTSIDE.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't win. Ever. :(

| (...) Yeah, air conditioners have this nasty habit of ripping the moisture out of your room along with the heat. You're supposed to make sure they lean out the window just a bit so the water can give the little birdies a place to make mudpies (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
