I love hosting, but without a basement, I am limited to hosting poker nights in the garage. Because it feels like a sauna when the garage door is closed, I can't host in the summer. So I've been thinking about purchasing a portable a/c unit, the kind that would require me to cut a hole in the side of the garage to vent out the exhaust.
Has anyone done this to cool their garage space? Good idea? Bad idea? Too costly? Doesn't get the garage cool enough? Any tips or suggestions for a particular a/c unit?
(And if you're curious, my garage is attached to the house... 18x18... and I'd have my guests walk in/out through the front door instead of opening/closing the garage door every time someone entered or exited.
Thanks!
