    Mini Split brands

    So my installer has offered me Gree as well. The difference between the Gree and Mitsubishi is $3850. This really has me thinking. For the difference I could almost have an entire new condenser and 3 heads installed again. Also Gree and Mitsubishi both have a 12 yr warranty. If I knew...

    Mini Split brands

    I will be installing 2 condensers with 3 heads each. Will be using them all as supplemental heat as well (my house heats very unevenly). I saw a friends Friedrich system today. Was very quiet and I will probably go this route. Also, thank you kkenney for posting the rebates.

    Mini Split brands

    For the contractor I plan to use, the cost difference between the Friedrich and Mitsubishi is 2k. I believe Mitsu may have a $400 rebate to close the gap though.

    Mini Split brands

    Ok, so I live in LI, NY and have recently gotten prices on having mini splits installed in my home. While price is always a factor, I'm also unsure of the quality differences between the brands. I've been quoted on Frierich, Mitsubishi, and Carrier units. One guy also said Fujitsu has gone...

    min split over window- cut hole and run lines through header???

    I'm looking into mini splits for my house- which has windows everywhere. For aesthetics I would like to mount the unit centered on the wall over windows. Can I cut a hole in the header and run the lines through it? House is a dutch colonial from the 20's with plaster walls in LI NY. Thanks

    Shelving for metal building

    FYI if you have a costco nearby they sell similar shelving much cheaper than that. Also If you can wait, walmart has had Edsal sheliving very similar to that for $99. I've bought several of them. Nice but def not the same league as pallet rack.

    What nails for cedar pickets into PT rails?

    Im getting around to putting the cedar pickets (stained white) onto the PT rails for my fence. What nails should I use? Galvanized? Do I need stainless? Ring shank? Long Island NY if it matters. Thanks

    Paint or stain new wood fence?

    Sounds like stain is the way to go. Thanks for the advice. I'll do the pickets before putting them up and the PT in a few months when it warms back up.

    Paint or stain new wood fence?

    I'm putting up a picket fence around my yard. Posts and rails are PT and pickets are cedar. I want the fence white. Should I use paint or solid stain? Do I have to wait for the wood to season before painting it? I was thinking about painting the pickets in my basement before putting them...
