Bedroom window and Air Conditioner
Last year we put in an 5200 btu window air conditioner. Now whenever it rains the paneling inside the bedroom leaks and gets the floor wet...etc. Any ideas on how to stop the leaks from coming inside?

Put an awning on the window.
Take a good hard look at the installation and determine if the air-conditioner was intended for the window size. If it wasn't, you are in for a challenge.
If the window size was appropriate, you may just need to get peel and stick weatherstripping. Remove the A/C, apply weatherstripping as needed, and re-install the A/C.
The A/C needs to be level and plumb. Is it level and plumb? If the instructions specified a deviation from level and plumb, was it followed?
