Now, what was I going to do? The instruction manual said to build a box for the cooling system unit
Had someone told me I needed to measure my window before buying a cooling system unit, I would not be in the mess I was in. I walked into the store and told them I needed a window cooling system machine for my bedroom, but nobody said they had different sizes or that they were different BTUs. I knew how large my bedroom was and provided him the dimensions. He promptly figured out various BTUs I needed and pointed out multiple cooling system units that would be suitable for my bedroom. One looked big, and I was afraid it would be too bulky for me to lift and install. I wasn’t small, but I wasn’t a monster like some men I knew. I looked at the smaller one and although it had the same BTU on the label, it weighed a mere fifty pounds. I hefted the AC machine and knew it was the right one for me, and the guy didn’t tell me it had to be plugged on both sides and that there was nothing to fan out and create a tight fit. I got the AC machine home, opened up the box, and took it into my bedroom. I had it installed on the window and the window was down, but I had four inches of open air space on both sides of the window. Now, what was I going to do? The instruction manual said to build a box for the cooling system unit. It was made to go in the wall and not in a window. I called my brother and told him I needed help, because I definitely wasn’t going back for another cooling system unit.
