Hello! I’m looking for a local shop or a professional carpenter who can help me with an unusual project.
My home office only has a sliding glass door (no window, and I need to add a portable AC unit to the room. I’ve bought a few of those plastic panels from Amazon, but they keep breaking.
I did some research and I think I can put a spring-loaded doggie door into the sliding glass door and then put a custom wood piece into the slot.
I think I need a 1/8" thick wood panel cut to 14" high x 9" wide with a 5.5" diameter hole and one 1.25" diameter hole for the exhaust and drain hoses.
It seems like a straightforward job for someone with the right tools and knowledge. I’ll obviously pay for the time and material. I’m in SE Delray but am willing to travel!
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
