Hello, would anyone happen to know if there are any do it yourself videos on how to do a through the wall air conditioning installation? I know that I will have to cut out a hole in my drywall, and the wood siding on the exterior of my house. I just need to know how to go about building and supporting the wood 2x4 frame too support the a/c sleeve and the unit itself which will slide inside. From my measurements I will have to cut one of the 2x4's in the wall to make it all fit. I am not installing this under a window, but approx. 5 ft. up from my living room floor. The instructions with the unit does not even give any of this info. Also, Will I have to run another 2x4 from the base up to under the wood frame since I will have to cut a section out of one 2x4, and will it be ok cutting a section out of that one 2x4 and not supporting it while I install the frame? Any logical ideas and help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Travis
