    This is unique a/h unit. NYC building on 37 th floor. Outside on the terrace. Rain, snow ets.
    No air filters, poor return air flow.
    Disaster.

    At least you can make snow cones while you wait for it to defrost.

    In NY, you cant use PVC for a drain. It has to be copper or black pipe. Sucks huh?

    Yeah that sucks. My boss would take my pinky finger as repayment if I did something like that.
