So, my husband and I are wimps. We hate being too hot at night in the summer. Our new place does not have central air yet, and so we decided to use our window units from last year….however, we ran into a problem. Our old windows opened up and down, but our new ones…side to side. So the window units were not made for these windows. Did this stop us, you ask? NOPE! Buns is handy and so we ended up with…..this.
The bedroom first, the smaller unit. Nothing to really hold it in place, but Buns is smart and I came home to this.
He built the stand from scratch to hold the unit up. We also got plexiglass to make a “window” for it. AND got silicone and calked the edges to seal it all up. No bugs for us!
Now the front window! The big one!
You can see how we had to score the plexiglass, cut it ourselves and piece the whole thing together.
Is it ghetto?….yes! Do we care?…no! Well…not for the summer anyways. We are just happy to not have the whole house be over 80 degrees at night while we try to sleep. :)
