Before I slink away in disgrace, I wanted to say in my defense that I was thinking in terms of boarding up for a hurricane or something similar and not of installing the AC. I have always used fitted panels for window units and it never occurred to me that that might be the purpose of the big sheet of plywood. If I had thought “install” rather than “board up” I think I might have caught it. Or not.
