I'd be more concerned about the coils not being able to breathe, the roof slopes away after all, is there at least a foot in-between?

Yah it's more than a foot. My AC is the one on the right side, his is way closer but I don't really care about that.

It'll be fine. This thing's handle getting wet extremely well. If anything it'll probably help it.

If you wanted to make a giant stink, you could look into local codes... many places have really specific restrictions on building things like sheds: requirements for setbacks from property lines, not being directly attached to the main house/building, etc. This could very well violate all sorts of code, but as other people have said, I don't think it will really impact your A/C. I'd be more worried about the fire hazard

Thanks guys, I don't want to make a big stink but if my coils get banged up I'll need to do something about it. I'll take some photos of my AC this weekend. The shed is only for tires so it should only be used twice a year and I think he would be somewhat careful with it.

Even still, unless you put the roof 4-5' up your still just going to cause all the hot air to recirculate back through the coil. So you'll need to blow all the air out the bottom. May I suggest remounting it like so:

Does your property line run along the edge of the gravel 6" from the shed? There has never been a better time for you to build a giant pink spite fence.

Yeah that's the property line. Spite fence would be pretty great. Also, their entire back yard is poured concrete. I don't think they like grass... or water drainage. Bonus points: those two windows that face each other are the dinettes. So we can open our curtains and spite-stare at each other during breakfast.

I'm concerned that it might direct an excess amount of water towards it but I really don't know if I have anything to worry about. Finally got to the end of this thread, and as a fixer, I'll opine: 99% of the water off the shed roof is going to come straight down off the roof and bounce off the gravel and onto the bottom of the untreated wood of the shed, rotting it quickly. .5% of the water off the shed roof is going to be blown onto the the untreated wood of the shed, rotting it quickly. .5% of the water off the shed roof is going to hit your A/C during earth-ending storms, but the A/C won't care. Worst case is the bottom front of the shed rots in 10 years and it topples gently into the A/C. So you should lose sleep until you can raise the condenser like your neighbor has so you have space for your recycle bins too. Edited to ask, what location? Annual rain? How much, and what, does the neighbor recycle? How happy are you that they made a termite magnet shed? Otteration fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Jun 10, 2016 |

Also you said he had interested buyers? Is he trying to rent this windowless, drywall box out? Is there an actual listing and is the tumblr that collected people trying to sublet their crawl spaces and garden sheds still going?

He actually has a Masters and works as a career councilor for a non-profit thanks to his sister, who is his boss. He wants to quit that job and get his real estate license. He claims he has a lot of investors waiting for him to get his license and also constantly claims that he will be "driving Maseratis and rubbing shoulders with rich Armenians in no time."

If we're coming clean about poo poo living conditions while in college I also blocked off a 5' wide entryway to a TV room to make a sleeping space. It was meant to be temporary and ended up lasting for a year and a half. After living in hooches on deployments with sheets for walls I just didn't care, even though it looked like something you'd see under a bridge.

The best part is that you think that by doing the right thing that the landlord won't gently caress all of you equally. I'd start packing.

That all seems about right, I'm glad you're aware of it. I'd probably talk to your roommates without the guy who built the structure because you'll all probably want to sue him in small claims court for the damages he's about to do to you.

Shifty Pony posted:Air conditioning rules but I really don't understand the people that keep it cranked to insanely low temperatures. Here in Texas unless you have a medical condition you should be able to deal with 85 degrees no problem so why on earth do people keep their A/C set to 72 all day? I hear people complain about $300-$400 per month electric bills sometimes. 85F ? The hell you say. If I had my druthers, I'd have my house at 60F year round. I just can't afford it in the summer and my wife won't put up with it in the winter. I loved my server room at my old company that had two roof top units for a room that was about 200 square feet. These were full size units meant to cover several thousand square feet. I could keep it at 58 degrees year round easy. Even with a dozen servers packed in like sardines and a gaggle of routers and phone equipment. It was awesome. If I don't need a coat, then it's too warm. For Crappy Construction content: That room had a drain hole drilled in the center as the A/C units would sometimes ice up and I'd have to mop up gallons of water. The water ran into a crawlspace between the floors that you could only access through a 2ft high panel half way up a metal staircase in the warehouse. It was fun. Spiders were involved. Less mice than you'd expect. I assume the spiders ate them.
