Project Down

[trickykitty]

Roommate Tom was a huge help this weekend getting me motivated with the window A/C unit. Once we got it opened up in the garage, I was more than a little unsure of moving forward with my project. There was an inch of mud in the base of it, and of course gunk and debris all over the thing. A little more coaxing from him got me over my mental hump. The unit was washed out with a hose and sprayer. The main areas facing into my room were dunked into a water/bleach solution to soak. We left everything out to sun dry, and then he got it put away into the garage yesterday evening to do some extra drying out over night. I vacuumed out the window sill of dead leaves and bug debris. Most of that comes from the top outer window panel not reaching to the very top of the sill, thus allowing stuff to find its way into the space between the outer and inner panes of the storm windows. My cleaning umph continued a little while longer and prompted me to clean out the computer cpu filters and do a bit more scrubbing in my shower before finally giving way to tiredness. We went to lunch at Mexican Inn, and rather than come home and take a nap I decided to get some cross stitching done while putting myself through a movie. I have decided that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is schizophrenic. The best part of that movie was Wonder Woman.

Hopefully this evening I can get the A/C unit put back together and reinstalled. The nice outside temperature right now combined with the central A/C keeps my room decently cool, but that couple degree difference provided by the window unit is the difference between me waking up in the middle of the night covered in sweat like I did last night versus me having a pleasant night sleep.

Good plan

It's going to get really warm by Wed before the next cold front rolls in.
