    I’ve never had an apartment with a garage. At minimum I’d have needed a 100 ft extension cord. Probably longer, which means it’d have to be thicker. Which means more expensive.

      And I’m not sure about your apartments but at mine (and many others in my area) we can’t have anything hanging out of our windows unless it’s an AC

      If I tried an extension cord it’d be a violation of my lease

        IDK either, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Last place I was at they didn’t like that I removed their blinds. Not like I tossed them, but theirs sucked ass and I use blackout curtains anyway.

          Had the same problem at my apartment, my workaround was putting the blinds back and putting my blackout curtains behind the blinds (because putting them between the blinds and the window made them upset too)

          At least my apartment is wired mostly properly. Still have things on breakers that don’t make sense though.

            That’s also what I did. It was just stupid and more difficult. Cause it was the blinds to the patio door.
