When we moved into this apartment (while it was still cold), we were told that the air-con unit in here could cool, but that the heating aspect no longer worked. A few days ago, as the heat was reaching significantly unpleasant heights, even in the evenings, we decided to give the air-con unit a go. After hitting any number of combination of buttons, all we had managed to get out of it was a weak wheeze of un-cooled air. We got Adam (who has much better Japanese) to take a look at it. He managed to strengthen the wheeze slightly, but still less effective than having the door open. Some further investigations and questionings told us that the unit was 17 years old, and it wasn't surprising that it no longer worked.
So today we went air-con shopping. Me being the penny pinching scrooge that I am, I wasn't entirely convinced that it was worth buying an air-conditioning unit. Hunter, however, was pretty keen for it, and Adam repeatedly reminded me that a) it was going to get a lot hotter and b) we could on-sell it to the next AET, and if the next AET wasn't prepared to pay for it, he would help us sell it privately.
So now we have an air-con unit, sort of... We've paid for it, but because of the heat, everyone wants one, so ours won't arrive until the 23rd.
