yeah sorta built this bitch on the fly.
originally i was going to divide the intake and exhaust sides of the hot side...but fuck it. i didnt want to force all the air through the unit, cause i have no idea how much it could really move.
i decided it didnt really matter if the unit was working as designed, or if i was forcing air through it forwards or backwards...as long as cool air went in and hot air out the a/c should work...and it damn sure did!
my ceiling is a nightmare, cedar. above it is another level so no attic... the other side of the wall is outside so no cutting there either...
Really my biggest obstacle here is that everything in my room is just sitting there. Nothing is permanent and there have been no perm. mods to the building. When i tear down all i have to do is cut the duct, stuff it in the ceiling and reinstall the light fixture...poof. the grow room now no longer exists!! the light tight frame around the door also just pops out and the original trim goes back on covering up all the screw holes from mounting the light trap
Props to you for hanging that a/c by yourself though..i could barely get this bitch into the little box 3' off the ground.
oh yeah, this unit is a frigidaire with digital thermostat..if the power goes out it resets to ON with a temp set of 72f. also the gfci on the cord doesnt reset when power goes out...unlike every other inline gfci i have ever used.
