Very nice setup. I really appreciate you taking the time to show those pictures. I've been wondering how I was going to get this thing vented to the outside, as the windows in my garage are up very tall. Too tall to reach with the short four foot hoses included with the A/C unit. I think I'm going to try to do it the way you have it. Any chance of getting a pic of what it looks like on the outside of your garage door?

The unit I bought has two venting hoses, so I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to do it yet. I might just buy some longer venting hose and vent it up through one of the (very high) windows. Supposedly you lose cooling capacity by extending the hose length, though, so I'd rather vent it through the garage door if I can.
