[Shop-talk] Fwd: "portable" AC units

[Ronnie Day]

We've got an LG (I think) in a 14 x 28 building we use as a wood shop. It
works pretty well in our fairly humid, recently hot central Texas location.
We bought the building pre-built, and it was trucked in. We then had it
spray foam insulated, we put 3/8 plywood on the walls and then surface
mounted the power. The A/C is only portable insofar as it's not mounted in
a window or wall. It's pretty heavy! It's the largest portable that HD
offers. The two windows aren't big enough for a big enough window unit, and
we didn't want to poke a hole in a wall.

As has been mentioned, it exhausts via about an 8 inch corrugated plastic
hose maybe 7 feet long to a panel in one of the windows. We're happy with
it. We use a couple of big pedestal fans to move air around the rest of the
shop.

FWIW,
RD
