Reason #36 my future wife will be disappointed
Today I caved in to the Midwest July weather and bought an air conditioner. Nothing too fancy, just enough to give me some semblance of relief from the midday sun. I felt pretty confident with the project that lay ahead...after all, I did get the AC in the car all by myself. So I get home, open the box and start to put the thing together. It takes me an hour and a half. You heard me right, 90 minutes, and I wasn't taking breaks in the middle to do other things...an hour and a half from opening the box to complete installation. Some of you may be saying, "Well Philthy, sometimes there are a lot of complicated steps to follow when putting things together around the house, an hour and a half doesn't seem all that unreasonable." If you're saying that, you're wrong. There were 5 steps, 2 of which I skipped, 1 because I didn't think it was necessary, and the other because I didn't understand what the directions were telling me to do.
Regardless, the dang thing is installed, albeit, incorrectly, it's doing it's job. There's pieces of foam and towels in the cracks and a screwdriver is jammed in one of the sides holding the slidey side things in place.
Yet another reason my future wife will be disappointed in me: I'm not handy around the house.

so i guess assless chaps are a better look than sweaters?
and i've asked you not to call me that.
The most important thing about installing an air conditioner is the ability to lift it. Those things are dang heavy and awkward to lift.
If we were married Phil, you could do the lifting and I'd do the installing.
