I am looking for opinions on my proposed minisplit layout. I am trying to decide whether I should go with 3 condensers or 2. I am not considering anything other than minisplits for this project, so I just want opinions on the best minisplit route to go. If I go the 3 condenser route (As...

I added some arial photos. There is a large hill right off the rear of the house, so attaching at the rear in not possible

I am looking to add an additional garage onto the side of this house. I would like to attach it, but I cannot come up with any good ideas that will not destroy the symmetry/look of the house, so I may have to do unattached. Does anyone have input? Thanks in advance!

Here is the finished product.

Thanks for your input everyone!

I just installed these red cedar posts. I am having a hard time deciding on color for the posts as well as the beam above them. I plan on using some type of semi-transparent stain. Does anyone have suggestions?

I know that I am for sure oversized for cooling, but with the wide range of BTU coverage (For example, the 9K will run 3000 to 10000 BTUs), I feel that the concern is minimal. I am more worried about having enough BTUs for heating as this will be my only heat source, which is why I have opted...

Yes, I am going to gravity drain the condensate into the basement plumbing. I am going to run the linesets all under the joists. The area of the house they will be in is a crawl space (All of the upstairs bedrooms have a nice 4 ft crawl under them). Thanks for your response!

I am in Northwest Ohio. I know that the systems are oversized, but with the inverters, the BTU range is quite dramatic. For example, a 9K unit ranges between 3000 and 10000 BTUS. I know for cooling I am oversized, but for heating I am not based on what I have read. That is my biggest concern...

I am looking for opinions on my proposed mini split installation for my house. I do not have ductwork and have no interest in installing a traditional ducted system! I am remodeling down to the studs and plan to run the line sets inside the interior walls and drain the condensate down to the...

I figured you guys would have the answer. I am needing to drill holes through my all of finished basement floor joists for PEX plumbing. My plumber was planning on putting the holes 2" up from the bottom of the joists. I am thinking for structure reasons, they should be in the center of the...

It only happened one time, the first time I used it. Hopefully having it happen once is not a big deal. Now I know to leave the truck on! Thanks.

I was using my 12,000 LB winch connected to my truck battery and ran it dead. How hard is it on a winch to run it on a low battery? The cables and the winch motor were cool to the touch. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your input guys!

I am planning on heating and cooling my brick ranch with minisplits. I am in NW Ohio. The house is very well insulated and has new windows. I am think I will want a 9K-12K BTU head unit for each bedroom, a 24K BTU head unit for the living and kitchen area, an 18K for the garage and a 24K for...
