The Air-Conditioned Coffin
Our apartment, a 700 square-foot poorly insulated, high-ceilinged beautiful monstrosity (with one full wall of glass) roasts us like chicken in a Ron Popeil Showtime Rotisserie Oven.
Besides being so big that our 13,000 BTU air conditioner huffs and puffs all day to no effect, all the glass lets heat from the sun in to the apartment without letting it go. We've soaked our sheets through every night for the last week or so from this heatwave, but not last night. Using strong impulses from our childhood, we devised a way to comfortably freeze our asses off all night long.
Here's how!
Step 1. Get your materials together!
For this project, you will need a couch, an air conditioner, something heavy (but not too heavy - it might fall on you), and a large blanket.
Step 2. Make a couch fort with your blanket, extending the couch fort to include your air conditioner.
It helps to have a couch with a high back and arms to help keep the blanket up.
Step 3. Securely Affix The Blanket To The Top Of The Air Conditioner
Otherwise it will blow away!
Step 4. Sleep in Comfort In Your Air Conditioned Coffin!
Now you've got 13,000BTUs cooling off a 14 square foot room with a height of only 2 feet. Bring a warm comforter!
