We have a through-the-wall air-conditioner that cools our main floor. It's below the window, and right in front of that a/c is hubby's computer space/office/rinky-dink man cave space. (Not much of a cave, since our whole main floor is one room.)
A/C blowing right on him makes him ache, and even gives him an earache... but we need the a/c.
Now, my grandmother had this beautiful Japanese silk screen thingy. (If I knew what it was called, I could go from there, instead of asking for help.) Sort of like what ladies in 1940s movies would go behind to change, but it was shorter than that. Vague memory that it might have been used to cover up a fireplace, except who is stupid enough to cover up a fireplace with a silk screen, since the silk would burn easily? Sort of like walls for work cubicles, except it was just a wood screen with a pretty Japanese design stretch in it.
Anyway, I'm thinking something like that would be pretty, not take up much room, (can't take a lot of room, because our house is small), and yet, (I hope, don't know) the air would just go around it without hitting hubby first.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or, can anyone think of a way to deal with this problem that doesn't require a lot of hard work, (such as hooking something to the ceiling or building that silk screen thingy), would not hurt the a/c, cut down on its efficiency, and doesn't cost a small fortune?
I hate that the a/c hurts him, but I also hate living without a/c. So, feel free to get creative, if you can't think of what to call that screen thingy is called.
