Coming along nicely! Similar build to mine, excited to see it finished.

Mainly cost and ease of install. I got all the ceiling panels for 300 bucks from a local overstock supplier and i installed myself. Drywall was nearly 2000 for just the ceiling before paint. I probably would have rather had drywall now, but i was so far over cash budget on this project i needed...

More as the drywall was being finished, AC going in, flooring/lift/ceiling/cabinets going up. (actually, the floor was done first, and then lift before all else as a I had a few jobs i needed to get done while waiting on myself to finish drywall and the remainder of the electrical)

Here are some photos from the last year. I tried to go in order, but just dumping at this point!

Wow it has been a while since I have followed up on this thread. Since my last picture update, the garage is essentially complete other than a few items here and there. - Electric all done (DIY'd that) - Floors done, epoxy with urethane coating - 5" of Spray foam insulation on the ceiling...

Are the filters in this thing replaceable or what? I know mine must be due for a cleaning, or replacing.

Little bit of follow up on my unit. I am in central florida and we had a brutal July and August has been humid as heck too. As a few of you know, i installed a 24k DIY in a 1000ft garage. Has 12' ceilings, open-cell R19 on the roof (yes i know it is underinsulated, however, it's been doing a...

Thanks for everything you do Platonic! Are you guys installing these 4ft bulbs at 12 ft or do i need to go to an 80W high bay?

I went with a fused disconnect only because i can't read well in Lowes apparently. I thought i was buying non fused but upon installation, i realized it was a fused box. Oh well, extra 2 bucks. I'm on a 25A breaker, 10GA wiring with a 30A fuse on a 24k unit, have not had any power issues.

Yeah my unit never goes ABOVE the set temp unless i open one of my giant doors so it must be working just fine. I don’t need to be in 70 degree air wrenching around in the garage. I’m good with 80-85. I really like the constant dehumidification of these units. They really allow for some good...

Since I’m using a power logger, i can tell what times of the day it’s running and not, the inside fan is running always. But mainly I’m talking about the why of the outside fan. Like my unit yesterday was reading 78 indoor temp, set to 83. But the outdoor unit was running. Typically when...

My 24k has been working well for about a month now. Still can’t figure out when these mini splits shut off and turn on lol. It’s a mystery. I keep my shop at about 83 when I’m not using it and pop it down to 80 when I’m working on a car. It keeps my 35x30 shop well cooled and at about 47%...

Yes, the smartHVAC app is pretty neat, and integrates with Alexa if you have it. It’s not too bad at all and has good reviews (unlike the me cool app)

FWIW - i went with a 24k and am 35x30. 5" open cell on the ceiling and R19 batts in the walls. Insulating the doors as we speak. It cooled my building down which was 96 degrees to 78 in about 3 hours yesterday (keep in mind my doors are not yes insulated and i still have the hole drilled to the...

I just opened my MRCOOL 24k in preparation for my installation this weekend. I have to say this is the best packaged piece of equipment I’ve ever received. They thought of everything that would break during shipping. Instructions are fairly straightforward, and all the parts and pieces are...
