Has anyone ever done a DIY geothermal A/C?

sounds like I may be able to get in on a fraction of a 1 week trencher rental in the future; not perfect; but I may go for it instead of the excavator.

Edit: Looks like a few window units are available with heat pumps; but most are just resistive heat. Smallest Heat pump I saw was 11,800 btu. Which is about double what I want. Looks like I'll just do resistive heat (space heater) for the few nights that I need it. If I needed 10,000 + BTU I'd jump on it though.
