There aren't many AC's that fit casement windows, but of course you only
need one. It will keep you from opening that half of the window.

Also they are usually small, not much higher than they are wide, so they
won't cool as much as a bigger one will. My info is 50 years old but it
seems like it would have to still be true.

I was thinking it may cool too much. Most bedrooms need only 5,000 or
6,000 BTU and the casements are 8,500 to 10,000.


Wow, look at this:

I didn't think they sold stuff like this. Certainaly shoudln't use it
where there's any humidity** but might work okay in a very dry location.

It's funny how it looks just like a portable AC.



Wow is right! Just the ticket, Micky. A nice compact unit to increase
the humidity, give him exercise filling it with water AND ice, should be
a good source of legionella (a/k/a "Legionnaire's disease").


I hadn't thought of that. For some poeple legionella may be the closest
they get to a fraternal organization.

Probably be the best $100 he ever spent. Not!g
