the coolest invention on earth
My favorite appliance. Just installed it. Basking
in cool air. Couldn't be happier.
Why
would someone in Seattle need an air conditioner? In
April?When
we built this studio/workshop a year ago, I quickly learned what its design flaw
is. Small, extremely well-insulated, high cielings, small windows, filled with
computer equipment and high-intensity lights, it's a virtual pizza oven. When
it's 75 degrees outside, it's 95 degrees inside. Even when it cools down at
night, outside, it stays hot inside. I had three fans going last summer, and
still resisted getting an air-conditioner. This year, I didn't wait for summer.
I got it three weeks ago. I parked the box next to my desk and waited for a hot
day (it's 80 degrees today, warm by Seattle standards) then ripped the box open
and installed it. As we used to say in Texas, boy howdy! Sure is cool in here.
