A lot of today was wasted on trying to cool the garage. Todays heat index was at least 100 degrees F. Bought a 14000 btu portable AC a couple nights ago because the central ac took a dump. After getting the central ac fixed. ( I replaced the capacitor 50 bucks ) I decided to give the portable ac in the garage a try. It dropped the temp in the garage by 2 degrees and 2% humidity after 4 hours!! Needless to say, it was useless. I returned it and replace it with a 12000 BTU window unit. Big difference!! It dropped the humidity from 66% to 49% and temp from 88 to 82 in a couple hours. A couple more hours and the temp was down to 79. Temp was set for 79. With the humidity at 49%, this was very comfortable. This is the biggist unit that would fit the window. If I find this to still not be sufficient then a split unit will replace the window unit. Plan on adding attic foil to the attic first though.
It is difficult to work on the build or anything for that matter in the garage when your sweaty and hot as early as 9am.
Any how, stay tuned for more building!!!!
