Air conditioners are absolutely heavy, as well as if you are not careful, they can hurt you… Use me as a cautionary tale, because I have a compound fracture of our right leg right now.
I will be in this wheelchair for numerous weeks before I start physical therapy, which might take weeks or even years.
I have no 1 to blame but myself, as well as our own overconfidence. It all started when I found a sweet air conditioning component at the local swap meet. It worked fine, but was super heavy. Since it only cost ten bucks I bought it with the idea of installing it in our living room for an extra layer of cooling during the summer. It wasn’t until I got home I realized how strenuous it would be to transport that air conditioning component up the stairs as well as into our room. I spent over an hour fighting with that air conditioning, as well as finally wrestled it into our living room. In hindsight I should have called a buddy for help, or even just left the air conditioning on the floor as well as left it there. Instead I tried to lift the air conditioning up onto the windowsill as well as balance it while I connected it. When it slipped as well as fell it landed right on our ankle. The air conditioning was so heavy it shattered our foot as well as our lower leg, as well as now I’m in a real mess, however do you want to hear the most ironic part? It turns out that after all the trouble as well as pain the air conditioning doesn’t even work!
