That should be child's play after the headlight mod!
Whats your latest purchase?

Woke up and it was still 20.5C in the house. And next couple days will be up to 34. So it isn't cooling down enough during night. So I went out and bought a 12000BTU Danby window AC unit. Wanted a Midea one as they are listed as the most efficient on the Energy Star website. But it was the only window unit Costco had. $369+tax.
Get home set it up. It had wifi so I see if I can get it working with Home Assistant. And I find out its actually made by Midea. And sure enough it works on the Midea app that my dehumidier uses. A similar Midea unit sells for about $550 so saved a pretty decent amount for a similar unit.

I thought for sure you were going to buy a Mr Cool (or similar) DIY heat pump setup as your next project. A window AC unit is no fun!

why not maidens with big palm fronds?
A physical window mount AC from Costco? I thought they only sold "portable" ones that have a plate which mounts in the window.
More used car audio gear. $140.
Alpine 10" type S sub
4 x JL 6.5 c2-650X coaxials
Hertz 5 channel HDP5. 660WRMS.
And some cheap Pioneer HU.

Pretty good value find. Shame that one of the pairs are not components instead of coax.
On my way home last night picked up one of these (Cheap 8ft x 8ft gazebo)...
house gets pretty hot in these heat waves but the kitchen seems to be the hottest and closing the sliding door and it's blinds makes a huge difference. I like having the door open (has a doggy door in the screen) so the dogs can come and go as they please. Last night at like 10:30pm started assembling it on the back deck infront of the sliding door so that the sun cannot even directly hit the door anymore.
