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.

Superbee..the first pic in that series is from outside the garage door. The door is white and so is the dryer vent. I cut a 4" diameter (IIRC) hole in the door with a hole saw blade and fed the dryer vent through. The trap door mechanism is inside the garage door. The tube coming out of it is flanged and tapered...a metalworker did that work for me. It works extremely well..i am very, very happy with it.
