[NSRCA-discussion] Air Conditioned Shop

[astropuppy]

Oh, you went through the wall and into your laundry room; then out the
window. I may try going into the attic, which has a electric exhaust fan.

A little funny sidebar. When I remodeled my shop, my wife went along with
everything except a Urinal. Seriously, I have rolling steel cabinets, heat,
refrigerator, Stereo, TV, Roku, padded flooring etc; but, no urinal. I
haven't told about the A/C yet. I'm thinking this is one of those "Beg
Forgiveness instead of asking permission" types of things.
