6'5" man with 100lb AC coming through. That means MOVE.

So ... next time you are whining because a SC "waited until there was a heatwave to get an AC unit", maybe they are replacing one for health reasons.

Last year, I had to replace my A/C unit for that very reason. If it's too hot or stuffy inside...I get a migraine. After several days of 90-95F and high humidity...my 22-year-old A/C unit called it quits. I'd not only fried the motor, but several other important internal bits. I had no choice but to replace it. This year, I've only had the A/C on maybe twice?

Not so at my mother's. They spent a fortune on redoing their system...and never use it. With no A/C, their house is like an oven

That reminds me of one year- Mom and Dad were renting a lovely, old, marble-lined box. Upstairs was too hot to stand- the fans, they did nothing!- while downstairs had flooded recently and had no electricity. Yeah, between dark and mold... 'course, it kept that cask of Amontillado nice and chill... but I couldn't stand it. Oh, and the fridge was broken- everything we put in there spoiled.

No window A.C. units to be had anywhere, for love or money, because guess what? This was in Italy. Dad was stationed at Caserne Ederle, in the Venetto region. 100's (Farenheit) every day, easily. Our landlord should've been shot.

Worst summer vacation EVAR.
