Yea, I saw that..oof. I took mine apart as much as I could and did a bleach cleaning and let it dry. I think every window AC prob has some type of issue with water and some mold, but yea looks like a design flaw.

Would need pics to make any educated guess.

Speaking for myself- I enjoy it. I probably mow every 3-4 days. Lawncare and landscaping are a hobby and are actually enjoyable. Many dread having to cut the lawn on weekends, so they can't imagine why someone would do it more than once a week AT most. I dont do it to "keep up with the Joneses" or one up my neighbor with a meticulous lawn or landscape, I don't have any neighbors--lol. I get a lot of us have different views on what is or isn't a waste of time, resource, money when it comes to this. I do spend a good amount of money(mainly on perennials plants/trees/conifers/etc) and like the yard overall looking nice. Part of that is the lawn too, which I also like freshly cut in combination with all the landscape beds. Certainly get that many on here could not give two craps about it this stuff. I really try to keep the lawn stuff as organic as possible, but will also do soil tests to see what is needed for lawn and plants and make amendments based on that so Im not just throwing stuff down that is not needed. With all that said, maybe your neighbor is bored out of his mind or hates his wife

After spending 7-8 hours standing in 50F Noreaster rain last weekend at a huge lacrosse tournament here, let's do it again this morning for another big event. Only 4 hours this time . It's comical at this point.

Sounds about right. It seems like they literally suck the seeds like a vacuum out of mine but the feeders are almost always completely left intact.

I guess this is the year I try this method...

Had the first baby deer fly land on me today, I would take 100 swarms of black flies over peak Deer Fly season.

I think the problem with Vinegar is that its mostly a surface kill. It will most likely go brown pretty quick, but I don't think it gets to the roots for a total kill, so it will just come back. Not just poison ivy, but any thing you are trying to get rid of. I am all ears too for a natural solution that actually works and kills down to the roots.

This is the most blue sky I have seen in 8-9 days.. even bright overcast has been a win.

Mine was really old and most likely very inefficient so probably skewing my opinion a bit, guessing the 2025 versions are certainly a little better.

I'm up in your neck of the woods on I-91, legit lowest VIS I maybe have ever driven in, literally dark as night/insane rates had to pull off. Crazy CGs and trees swaying. Cars going 10mph.

No, definitely more of a learning curve. You don't just pop them in like a standard unit. There is YouTube video that has step by step if you need it. I get them quick now after doing it a season or two.

I have 4 units, its amazing how much more efficient they are at cooling my house. Keeps whole house comfortable. Previously had 3 older window units and a Portable AC it's laugable how much better the Midea's are. The Portable AC was absolutely awful.

That's insane coverage for what looks like pretty dense shade come full leaf out. Definitely looks good, but like you said will be interested to see it towards Aug/Sept.
