New (for me) old AC unit

Happy to send them my way. I was told there was a big one and 2 little ones. Not sure what that meant. When i went to pick them up, I saw the big one had a special plug. Just like the 220 line in my office/attic area. SCORE! 1800 BTUs, not too loud. I had to strap it to an industrial hand truck (what, doesn't everyone have an industrial hand truck hanging around?) and then the boy and I humped it up the steps, 1 at a time, slowly. I pulled, he pushed. It fit in the window with 1/2 inch to spare. Phew. I screwed a 2x4 across window frame right above it, to make sure it doesn't move. I'm going to cut a large duct through the attic ceiling into my bedroom closet, and have a serious cool breeze coming in with no noise. YAY!

The next room has another 6K in it. My bedroom has a 6K, and the middle bedroom has a 6K. The 18K in the attic can blow down the steps to top it all off. So the next day that roasts all will be blasting and should cool the whole house off.
