at the title says I wasn't home and I was bored and wanted to do some PNP so I took my USB memory stick down to CVS and had them print out the last lighthouse to plain paper black and white.

I then went to Dollar tree and I bought a pack of playing cards and some Scotch tape and some highlighting markers.

I noticed that the last lighthouse cards were mostly black and white and a few had some color so I took the yellow highlighter and highlighted the bottoms and the red cards I used a light red highlighter to color the cards in.

I used a scissors to trim them out and then Scotch tape them to the back of the playing cards.

all in all I feel it's a pretty good job considering I wasn't home with no precision cutting instruments or any other tools that I usually use.

it's very makeshift and temporary but it works

I've been lurking in this sub and others about air conditioning and read all the warnings and horror stories about single hose units and how they aren't going to work etc....

it all made me really apprehensive about setting up my unit.....but today I took the plunge and man I'm glad I did.!!

for context I'm in southern California high today was 97 and humidity 30%.

I'm just wanting to cool a bedroom that is roughly 12x12 , I have a 12,000 BTU unit.

temperature in the bedroom was 85°

I know it's not crazy heat but it's hot and I'm sweating so I set it up and in less than 30 minutes my room was down to a very comfortable 78° and cycling perfect.

here's my setup I know it looks rough I had to tape the hose in a couple of places but it's holding steady with no leaks .

my only access to outside is a sliding glass door so I had to tape up some corrugated plastic of the length of the door I already had a wooden piece to connect the exhaust hose to.

what would you do?

it was only .5 a mile and I was literally in the parking lot . what would you do?
