That's why: van, not open bed pickup truck. The loose stuff can also kill you in an accident.

I have always felt that the risks from flushing a lineset outweigh the benefits of doing it. I've never had a customer pay for a pressure test on an existing lineset, nor have I ever had a customer want to replace a concealed lineset. What do you do? Replacing a lineset isn't always possible...

The only realistic way you will be able to do this is to make the attic space conditioned space. Spray foam the roof deck (underside) or rigid foam above, covered with plywood for a regular shingle roof.

It would actually be best to do the one thing that almost no one in these forums ever does, and that would be doing a load calculation. Then you will know the answer. A load calculation will also provide crucial data that's needed to set the balance point. The economic balance point will tell...

Would agree with this 101%. And yes, attics are hot, but so are rooftops. And ******* all of your **** up the ladder that gets there... before doing any work. Don't be mislead that one side is easier than the other.

If you are in a union apprenticeship, there should be a tool list. The unions i am familiar with all have such a list. Tools add up fast. It's easy to buy something to "make your job easier", but I have yet to experience anything coming back my way for "extra" stuff brought onto a job, and it...

For some, 6 is 8...

I'll pick it up for free...

Looks like it needs dual quads....

There normally isn't a gauge port at the metering device... You must have gotten lucky.
