  I had one of those Haier units - never cooled that well from day one - sold 
in a garage sale to some Mexicans for $15 - hey did you get yours at  a garage 
sale by chance, sorry? I bought another ac unit - it's still in the box - 
Frigidaire I think from Home Depot or Loews. Try another unit if you can. Maybe 
I can bring it this one day and we can expeirment. 

  Denis - I got a bottle of Percocets today - no snake bit but I was in bed all 
weekend with a tweaked back - going to the hospital Wednesday for a couple of  
epideral spinal shots with Doctor Doctor (Real name- he's Indian)

  The first time I removed it, it completely soaked me from head to toe!
