Being a former window AC user, it is clear that you still have much to learn. :) First, you'll find that there will be a finite number of electrical items you can use at once. Exceeding this limit will result in a trip in the circuit. Second, you will learn that once a circuit trips, it will trip much quicker and easier in the future. (The way around this is to let the circuit cool a bit, as most are heat triggered. Of course, you're out of power while you let it cool.)

As an aside, I took my AC unit apart in the bedroom, and lined it with dynomat--which is the anti-vibration-padding that is used in high-end car-stereo installations. It made the unit much more quiet.

I just can't believe it took you this long. The dehumidification is worth that price alone.

Don't know if I told you guys about our wheat field--but it's still growing strong. I've cut about 3/5 of it this morning, and will finish it off in a minute or two. It's just so discouraging to pay for a lawn, and have the builder put down dead sod. You pay for it again, and then the landscaper inadvertently plants a wheat field over your high-end scientifically engineered hybrid Bermuda grass seed. All I want is to have a lawn for my daughter to crawl on--but life seems to conspire against me at every turn. To be honest, I don't know what to do--take it to the mattresses with this most recent wheat-grass landscaping eff-up, or just shut-up and live with it.
