That wasn't supposed to happen

 While it's still warm during the day, the evenings here are cooler and more comfortable. I no longer need the air conditioner running at night when I go to bed. I decided one evening that I would take the AC unit out of the bedroom window and just leave the window open.

Well all was going well. I had a hold of the AC and I pushed the window up. That's when things took a turn for the worse. The next thing I know the AC unit went out the window and crashed on the ground. Did I mention that my bedroom is on the second floor? 

I went outside to pick it up since it landed right in front of the basement door. Surprisingly it didn't look like it was all that damaged but I didn't bother to test it. It did however hit the outside light on the way down. 


Now I have one light that is hanging straight down. It didn't break either of the bulbs though.

Oh my GOSH! There was a Seinfeld episode like this, so I thought you were kidding! It does sound like something from a sitcom! But I am really sorry, but glad you hopefully did not break anything!! I hope you didn't hurt your back!

thos little things are too heavy for me, and even bob struggles to carry them, so glad it did not harm anything except the light hanging down. hope you store it in the basement and not upstairs. my son and his friend did the same thing years ago, second floor, installing it and down it went

Oh, wow! That does not sound like fun at all!

I'm thinking that would be a two person job. I am currently faced with a problem - I need a second person to do something and I don't have one! (A second person that is...)

Oh wow! I hope the ac unit isn't too damaged! And that the light can be fixed!

Oh no, I hope your A/C is still working and the light is an easy fix. Isn't that just something?

Yikes. That was scary. I hope the unit still works.

Have a fabulous day and rest of the week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥

Oh no! I wasn't expecting that ending. I hope the unit is ok and that the light can be fixed. That had to be a bit scary for you.
