I have searched a bunch of websites and have only found very wide shelving. The dehumidifier measure 13”x15”. I am going to mount it under my workbench where a chair would normally go. It is out of site, power plug is nearby and gravity fed line will drain outside. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I exchanged emails w/ Mr Cool and essentially my unit is over-sized for my garage so that it cools so fast that it doesn't remove humidity. I am going to try the Dry setting daily for 3 hours per day (hopefully that doesn't freeze it).

I love that idea. Thank you!!!! Never thought about it.

Regarding the mini-split, this is what Mr. Cool says about using the Dry setting: "It is not recommended to run Dry mode for more than 10–13 hours at a time. Extended use can lead to discomfort and inefficient energy use, potentially "freezing out" the room." So, this leads me to conclude that...

Yes, I could definitely use gravity to drain outside. Looking for something reliable (most seem to die soon after warranty)

Hi Everybody, I did a garage renovation a couple of years ago and love the finished product. Detached 2 2-car garage with insulation. Concrete floor. Unfortunately, the space traps moisture (I am in NC mountains, specifically a rain forest). Despite installing a Mr. Cool mini split system...

I have a detached two-car garage (approx 22'x22') in NC mountains (technically a rain forest) where a normal year gets 96" of rain. I gutted the garage 3 years ago, replaced windows, installed Mr Cool ac/heater. We have started to notice that it is getting moldy inside. The humidity is...

Thanks everybody.

Here is a link to my project: https://imgbb.com/TTr0cRZ I am cutting the piece of wood into 3 pieces and would like to find the best floating shelf hardware to conceal. The piece of wood is around 7/8” and 15/16” in thickness. I went to Rockler and their produce says that it needs to be over...

I do the occasional little DIY project around the house. Nothing too sophisticated or challenging. Maybe use it to remove spider webs, knock down a hornet nest, clean a piece of glass, possibly paint (unlikely), etc... It will be stored inside and would like something with universal...

As mentioned in title, I have the Rubbermaid Fasttrack Rail (48”) and need to cut it shorter. Given that I have never cut steel, would please tell me what tools I need and what is the best way to cut it? Thanks in advance Anthony

Racecougar - Thanks for the quick responses. I am not handy/sophisticated/knowledgeable enough to your proposed cut and re-flare proposition (although I like the idea). So how would you go about storing the excess line outside an exterior garage?

As I understand it, the MrCool comes in 25' length and the mfg advised to put it on a hanger like I am proposing. It didn't occur to me that cutting it to the desired length was an option. I wonder if that would void the mfg warranty. On a side note, I have thought about my initial request...

Thanks to your collective feedback from an earlier post, my wife finally agreed to allow me to buy a Minisplit for the garage. I pulled the trigger on a MrCool unit tonight. When talking with MrCool while doing my research, they suggested that I buy a hose hanger to hang the outside coils...

I never thought of the slab causing moisture. The house/garage was built in 1980's. If it doesn't have a sufficient vapor barrier, is there anything I should do? My wife asked me if a mini-split was overkill since my focus is not on heating/cooling in a traditional sense. So, I have to ask...
