Yeah, I will definitely try to put a reversing valve in the mix.

My goal here will be to keep my office at roughly the same temp all the time, so I don't have to swing it up and down all the time. Can't do that with my electric heater now, takes too much to run. Need some more insulation also.
I'm thinking the easiest way to build an inside unit would be to just gut another window unit. Take the compressor out of this one and use both the evaporator and condenser again.
Do you think I could get away with 30-40 feet of tubing between the units, if I go a size larger than what they come with? I'm thinking I could put the "outdoor" unit in an attic area, which stays a few degrees warmer in the winter.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who lays awake in bed at night thinking about air conditioners. In November.
