Looking for opinions. I'm pulling the trigger on a couple of steel buildings. A 40x50 and a 30x40. I have two choices in front of me. Both are 12' side wall with a 5 1/2x12 pitch. Both are 26ga steel on sides and the roof. 1) Tube, galvanized https://cfsteelbuildings.com/ 2) Galvanized...

No issues with sinkholes in my area!

I'm starting my barn build this week on The Farm. Builder is coming over this week to start the design process. Going to be tearing down the existing barn and expanding the slab. Construction will be a 50x100 red iron barn with 16 foot ceilings with a 6/12 pitch. Am leaning toward spray foam...

It's been about 3.5 years now since the Mr. Cool mini-split install. It made it through the hurricane in 2017 that went right over the top of my house @ 137mph. The unit lost it's colling ability about 4 months ago. I read this was a common thing as most of these DIY kits don't come fully...

It's been about 12 months now since I installed my Mr. Cool mini-split. This past summer was extremely hot here in Southwest Florida and the unit ran perfectly. Kept things nice and cold. No issues whatsoever. I'm still very pleased with my purchase.

Ingram's was where I bought mine from.

I'm in south Florida so our needs are very different. Just give the company a call and I'd bet they can help you with sizing.

Yup, exactly. Easy as heck.

Wiring is easy. It took me a few minutes to hook up the power. The power connects to the outside unit. Additionally, my unit does not run off of a standard outlet...it is rated for 208-230v for operation. This is not a typical wall plug. Best bet is to send your electrician the manual and he...

Haha, I see that there are quite a few on here that think all Mr. Cool owners are bots. I assume that both rebelranger and AZpilot are referring to me as I only have a few posts (I think this is my 6th). I'm not a bot. You can msg me and I'll share my contact info so you can personally talk to...

As of 4/19, my Mr. Cool is still working great. We've had several 85 degree days and it has been cooling like a champ. It'll freeze you out. Likewise, some mornings are in the high 40's and this unit will burn you out with the heat on. It also does a good job of dehumidifying. It's so quiet...

Streetdaddy, I read and re-read everything because I was nervous as well. But when it came time to do it, it was a piece of cake. Super simple to install. And I did contact Mr. Cool today and they assured me the excess lines can be coiled up behind the unit without causing damage (trapping...

The unit comes with a 26 foot coil of tubing. By design it cannot be shortened. No flaring or filling required with this unit. The wrap came in the install kit. It's an insulated plastic wrap and does a nice job of cleaning things up.

A quick thanks to everyone here posting about mini-splits. I had mini splits installed in my last house (Fujitsu) in 2008 and they cost an arm and a leg. I just have not kept up with current technology since then. With the advent of the DIY splits, I was a little hesitant to go that route...

I just purchased one of these DIY units. It'll be delivered tomorrow. I'm replacing a noisy-ish 10,000 BTU wall A/C unit. Current unit has about a 59db rating when the fan is on low (per my iPhone app). Too loud to carry a decent phone conversation and hear the other person on the other end...
