Update: I decided to not bother with an AC system. After working in the garage through the summer and now the approaching winter, the garage stays within a pretty reasonable temperature range. I haven't gotten too hot, and I'll just wear a light jacket if I get too cold, though I usually end up...

Honestly my HOA isn't that bad. In fact, the residents just staged a coup to overthrow the board members who were trying to overexert their authority, so everything is totally in flux (most of the residents are engineers who honestly couldn't care less about the looks of things).
