Thanks for the deal! I am going to try these out. Not a Costco member, but still cheaper than HF even with (HF) coupons.

Got one. Thanks!

Sign me up as well!

I ran 10-3 romex

Not sure. I guess we'll see. I'm budgeting about $25-35 per month for it. They are pretty efficient.

Here is the final product. I seem to have had almost exactly enough lineset. It was a bit freaked tightening the pressure lines, but it was super easy.

Now comes the fun part. How to get this monster 8v up the wal all while feeding the lineset carefully through the hole and not kinking the line. I had a buddy helping me, but it was almost a 3 person job to get it up that high.

Based on the template, I used an awl to mark locations for the studs and the lineset/electrical/drain. I used a slightly larger hole saw (92mm) as I didn't have the 90mm it called for. Mounted the bracket.

Getting the mounting bracket in the right place was a bit tricky as I wanted to get the outside hole exactly between the ribs in my R-panel, and I have studs and drywall inside.

I finally recieved my new Mr Cool DIY unit, so I wanted to share some thoughts on the install. Here is a pic of how it came to me.

Thanks Kaizen. I have a bad habit of not asking for help when I should, so I will definitely get a second hand trying to get this up on the wall. Justinjoyal- the shop slopes down into my pasture, so we put some pretty big beams in the past as a foster unDer the slab. It's 24+ inches at the...

Yes, this one has the quick connect lineset. Didnt think to isolate it....good advice for the next guy. Instead, I tied ut into the slab with rebar

Here is my biggest challenge from a cooling perspective. I have a big roll up door thar is uninsulated, and only has a brush seal at the top. The door faces east, so at least it doesn't get the afternoon sun.

I should also mention I'm in Fort Worth, TX, and summers here can get pretty hot. I have the shop somewhat sealed up, with 2" of foil faced polystyrene foam board in the ceilings (roughly R13-R14), and 1" the same board in the walls. In the walls I also have R13 roll insulation, so they are...
