Default My new shop toys...

I just thought I'd let y'all know that I just put two A/C window units in my shop and it is really enjoyable to be out in the shop now. Last Saturday I went to Home Depot and plunked down about $490 total for two 12000 btu/hr window A/C units. I punched holes in the walls in my shop, put in the right blocking and voila... Sunday in the middle of the day it was 78 deg (and I turned em on about noon). Sunday evening, 74 deg and cycling on/off. My wife came down to the shop and complained because it was cooler in the shop than in the house. Also should add that my shop is not insulated at all, so I had to go about 2X the recommended amount of btu/hr. I know some will say I shoulda got swamp coolers, but for close enough to the same price, I have A/C. It will work during monsoon season and won't rust my tools or cars in the mean time.

If y'all can't tell, I'm thrilled. See ya in the shop...
