Hey Bubba, that gives me a new idea for the upstairs... I can just cut a
hole in the ceiling and put the unit thru to the attic... it's hot up there
anyway. What kind of screws should I use to hold it in place?

Doesnt matter as long as you use the longest screws you can find.
You've gotta make sure you can keep out all the nuts that fall through
the skylight in here. If they get into your attic and then in your
home............heaven help you because there are some real screwballs
that pop in here. Id hate to find em in your home.

No, a window AC won't run if tipped on its side. Please look for what
is called a "casement" AC. Oddly enough, I have one which I tried to
sell on ebay about two years ago. Still have it.

I have a small vertical window and have not been able to locate a
window AC
unit that will fit although I have found a couple that would fit if
mounted
Vertically rather than horizontally.

My question is can these units be operated when mounted vertically?
