    I'm east of Dallas.  My subdivision doesn't allow window A/C units.  My shop is a 2 car garage-sized extension to my garage and has a common wall separating it from the garage.  So I mounted a window unit  in that common wall with the condensor sticking out into the garage.  When I need the shop A/C, I open up the garage door and turn on the A/C in my shop and it exhausts out into the garage.  I keep a 5-gallon bucket under it to collect the condensation.  Works like a charm.

    When I was in Houston I had a window AC unit in my garage.  The garage was not insulated so it did not get much cooler but with the doors and windows closed the AC unit reduced the humidity enough inside that it was bearable to work in the heat.  A hi-vo floor fan helped too.

    The temps in my garage dropped dramatically when I added the power roof vent and the drop ceiling to go along with the ac units that were useless at the time.   Totally different stable!   Someday, I hope that dern place starts producing some results.....LOL

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Thanks terry.......pack an overnight bag cause I'm filing a flight plan right now...

    Corky, appreciate the offer.....

    John, if I owned this place, I'd insulate the garage and install some kind of AC gizmo...not sure my land lord would appreciate me cutting a hole in the wall of the garage right now....

    Sounds like you might need a C-17 rather than a 737-400.

    K' Bobs, just curious, do you live in an incorporated village?

    When I bought my rental property, I was careful not to buy in the village because of all the rules.
