Hey everyone.
I need some air conditioner advice. The house I’m in now is a rental, and doesn’t have central air. I was thinking of getting one of the portable ones – they don’t install in a window, they sit on the floor. So that was my plan… until I found out that they still have a hose you have to vent out of the window. Whenever I’ve seen this pictured, it looks like this:

My problem is that the windows here don’t open like that. They’re the kind with a crank handle on the inside, which causes the window to pivot open… hopefully someone knows what I mean.
So, what are my options? I was thinking of maybe cutting a piece of plywood to the size of the window, minus the size of the vent thing? I’d lose any daylight, but I’m only planning on using it at night anyway.
Or is there some other solution? Thanks in advance!
