>Hi everyone,

BTW, the people here all agree in prior threads that it is not good to
put in too big an AC either. So it sounds from the others like you
have about the right size, so if that is so, don't be thinking I could
have just gotten a bigger one and that would have solved it. Too big
has its own problems.

Sorry you did say what the outside temp was. And I was wrong to count
on that so much, as CJT explained.

A simple test you can do is to measure the temp at the return air
intake and at some of the outlets. You should see a temp diff in the
ballpark of about 16deg F. If it's way off from that, you have a
problem.
