Handy Air Conditioning Install Tips!
1) If your window opens from the side, rather than the top -- sorry!! You don't deserve frosty air!
2) If then attempting to install your A/C anyway, you should know that they ARE NOT KIDDING when they say it should be tilted so that the water produced trickles outside rather than in. Mostly because the water created is the foulest smelling substance engineering science has yet to devise! Oh, yes! My room smells like the morgue depicted in "Men In Black" and not because Linda Fiorentino has a stinky box or anything!
3) Ensure that all electrical devices are nowhere near your A/C if you're going to ignore #2. Like, say, your $200 scanner. Do you enjoy fretting as to whether or not an expensive piece of computer hardware will function after swimming around in the stench of condensed A/C aftercrap? Then by all means ignore this handy rule!
4) Prepare to worship your deity once again with passion once it *is* working. If you do not have a deity, it's worth getting one just to repeat the mantra "thank you God" as you tumble off into the first contended slumber you've had in, seriously, three months.
