Our garage is rarely ever used, so a simple air conditioning window unit should be able to transform the underutilized space into a cool hangout for the kids.
I’m not going to lie to you, the past year has been extremely stressful for my wife and I. We’ve been going through a lot of financial challenges as well as our own and marriage issues. It really didn’t help when this covid-19 nightmare began and the kids were staying home with us 24/7. We already had a lot of personal tension between us and now there were three extra bodies lounging around the house at all times. The kids never stop complaining about everything you can imagine, from our television to the internet to our indoor air quality. Meanwhile, my wife and I are doing our best just to pay our monthly utility bills. We really can’t fathom the idea changing our indoor air temperature controls based on the preferences of some snotty children. We also could really use a break from their constant chatter and abuse of the indoor appliances. As such, I decided it was time to install a basic air conditioning unit in the garage. I figured, if we could put some cooling power into another space maybe the kids would quiet down and leave us alone. Our garage is rarely ever used, so a simple air conditioning window unit should be able to transform the underutilized space into a cool hangout for the kids. I found a used AC window unit online and installed the cooling system myself in one afternoon. After that, the kids were happy to go hang out in the garage where they can turn the AC unit as low as they want. They’ve stopped complaining so much about the indoor air quality and I haven’t had to worry so much about the energy bill. It’s a start.
