Oh No!! Notice where the curtain is hanging??
I don't know why I failed to see that long curtain as a problem.
It would be hanging down on the air-input grill..
When it's unhooked, (to close it) it would hang even lower.. And cause blockage..

My wife is not liking my idea to chop 10" off the bottom of one curtain..
(I really don't think anyone would notice)..

So, now we are considering the area behind the guitar, just below that window frame.
That window has some ornamental glass swinging windows in it.
It's basically the hole that used to be the kitchen window-over-the-sink.

I kinda like the idea, since it is more out of the way there.
That's not a foot-traffic area.

Went to Lowes and HD today. Got all the parts for the power supply and
the 1/2" water-tight conduit and parts needed to feed the 230vac and data line into the indoor unit.
I will be replacing a rusty old 230AC outlet on the back of the house with a standard, air conditioner disconnect box.

Looks like a pretty good one.(A bit larger than the other one).

Also picked up a Watts 1/4" flare nut, so I can install a drier-filter in my little test loop.
Before final install, I want to clean up any particles and acids that might be riding around in the R410A.
I'm hoping this will help avoid compressor wear, or explosion etc.

Since this is a low-fuss install, I don't plan on using a big cement slab like before.
This time, I'm going to hack a mount out of old 4x4s. I plan to make an
'H' frame (with two cross-bars) out of four old left-over deck timbers.
I picked up four of these things to tie them together.

We cleaned a bunch of vegetation out of the new Sanyo location.
It's a good spot, a zero foot traffic area.

When the system is up and actually working for a few weeks,
I'll likely build another snow shed roof for this one..
Maybe make it extra tough, since roof snow and gutter ice could be dropping in..
