June 28th, 2007 - More on the AC
I should have been more specific. We actually have two AC units. The one we turned on and I’d like to replace is the outside permanently attached AC. We also have a window unit that we put in out bedroom each summer. That one hasn’t been used yet.
Frankly, I’d like to get rid of it, too. I’ve recently learned about portable units. What I hate about installed ones is that you completely lose use of the window until you take it out. Since it’s so big and bulky, we only do that at the end of the season. But a portable one is easily taken out and moved to another room (the main point of it). Read about it in the paper just yesterday. I wonder what they cost (the newspaper column actually lists manufacturers, but the online one doesn’t).

not cheap, but not horrid.
although too dear for us, at the moment. Since my apt is far, far cooler than AMs, she’s been sleeping on my pull-out couch when it gets to miserable over there.
That thing must be 30 years old, this year!
