Who else is going to do the important civilizational building work of making sure grass stays under 3" and unsightly garbage cans stay behind an obscuring structure!?

Let's see... to answer a question, it's an 8x8 shed is my warehouse where I store shit (now, since I built the shed a couple weeks back).
And it does have a window unit AC In it. There is functionally one real window in our house it would fit in (it's big), but that window is in the master bedroom. The one room we really want cooled if the main AC goes tits up.
On the aging note...

I have a window unit in my game room/office as it's far easier to run it during the summer than try to cool this space with the house AC. In a pinch I can open the door and set up fans to make the house tolerable and I live in the desert.

Well FUCK I just checked and my unit applies to the recall. I have had zero problems with it though. I'm not sure it's worth the hassle to go through the recall. I have an air monitor in this room and in the hall (built into the smoke/CO detector).

Any upgrades I do to heating/cooling on any building henceforth will be done by mini-splits. They are awesome. You can put a thermostat in each room, everyone controls their own heat/cool, cheaper in the long run, and I love them. You can mount all the exterior units on your roof, and you won't hear them hardly at all.
I'm old. I want my bedroom as I want it. My kids can keep theirs warmer if they want.

What was the cost? I priced a mini-split in this room and they wanted $3K , and this was pre-COVID. I thought that was outrageous. This room *may* be 12'x13'.

The more rooms you do, the more cost effective it is. You can get a single exterior unit and put as many as five indoor blowers on a single unit. So if one room is $3K, 5 rooms is likely $4k. I'm fortunate enough to be able to buy them at cost and can install them myself, so doing my 7 bedroom house completely would probably be about $12k. It's a lot at the outset, but it will use a great deal less energy and will last longer than a new furnace. I can get cheaper units that are essentially air conditioning only for my main floor. I've put under floor heating on the entire main floor with independent thermostats in most of the rooms. The house runs off two furnaces currently, and replacing both furnaces would be more $ than that and doesn't offer the heat/cool zone flexibility. Most of my kids are out of the house, so I don't have to heat/cool their rooms unless they're going to be home, or guests are using their rooms.

Does that in-window shit work in a horizontal sliding window? Seems like it is constructed to take the weight in a specific way, so turning it sideways is probably bad. Might fuck up the cooling process too with wherever the environmentally friendly freon substitute reservoir is located.
