You'll have dusts flying everywhere and debris left and right.

There is no dust, no moisture (so no mold), and no noise because it does not need a fan to move the heat.

.- More secure than window air conditioners not only regarding intruders but also dust and pests.- Many units are designed to both heat and cool allowing for year-round comfort.I hope help you my comment, or to anyone.

DO NOT GRIND ON A FIRE SAFE WITHOUT A GOOD DUST MASK.  

@Michele Greene, properties in north Orange County are a mixed bag, very much dependent on which city, which neighborhood, age, HOA, etc. 

This might be a dumb question, but I own a 4 unit property and have been hit with two $50 fines stating"Violation Code and Description:107141 - Premises not litter free"Basically trash bags being on the property outside of cans because they've overflown. 

In Massachusetts, they allow removal by almost anyone as long as they are properly bagged, tagged and disposed of properly. as far as painting is concerned, don't sand or scrape them.

If you are worried about it, put their stinky paperwork in a plastic bag and hold onto it to show the judge in case they sue.

Equity is nice, but it tastes like saw dust.  ;-)  My apologies if my intentions were not clear in the OP.

I'd buy my house again today in a heartbeat for our total refi amount, so I guess I did an appreciation-refi-play on my house to pay for a divorce and am at about 20% equity when the dust settles with no revolving debt.
