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.
I believe you are correct about losing cooling capacity by extending the hose length. Is there a way you could mount a ledge on the wall five feet or so off the ground near the window that you could place the air coniditioner on? Even if such an air conditioner couldn't fully lower the temp, lowing the humidity would be great living in a very humid area (Louisville, KY).
