Just dont have any words !
 
That OSB isn't exposure rated ;)

I notice he added some tape to the joints in the 2nd photo. At least he addressed the safety concern:rolleyes:
 
It's all good, since he's using an OAK, and I bet there's a surge protector on there that we can't see with a clean sine wave UPS! /s
 
other than the window code violation and the glaring shock on first sight, it looks like a pretty wood install.
 
That plastic bucket supporting the air supply will probably void the warranty but looks good otherwise.

It's no different than a window mount pellet stove! (Not that they are a bright idea either!)

What's the code violation?
 
That's just wrong, MY pellet stove install pictures on Craigslist should not have been shared here!

I quit!

Except for melting the window blinds it really ain't all that bad.

Can't open the window and the OSB and paneling is probably less flammable than the paper and paint on a sheetrock wall if he had run it through that.

<sigh> the code violation concerning the window is the manual states not to vent within the clearance requirement of the NFPA 211 requirement of 4 ft unless its carried a minimum of a foot higher than the window

a house on fire is a warm house, right?

Even if the window is inoperable?
