I wanted to thank each of you who fast tracked me through a learning curve. I ended up hiring it out but you guys saved me from wasting a bunch of money and time on a poor solution.
So what I ended up doing was getting permission to remove a lower window, having a frame built, filling the gap with insulated panels, and installing a package 12,000 btu unit, and having an insulated duct custom made to cover the cool air out let running it up one foot then to the left (so we don’t block window) up wall over ceiling and into the next room covered with a register. Next AC tech will install a remote thermostat in the room and we can control the temp without relying on WiFi which is less than reliable. I realize it is not optimal but it is the best I Can come up with on short notice. He signed a 2 year lease with no increase so expense is a little more palatable.
Spent more than I wanted but all I was going to do with the portable and extended vent was make a mess, waste money and not get a good result. Sometimes you need to know your limitations.
Thanks guys. I appreciate all your help and suggestions. This time instead Of helping me get the job done, you saved me from a poor outcome.
Thanks and enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
