    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Still chasing ways to improve efficiency on my garage door short of replacing it. Single pane that’s drafty- plastic seemed to help and the bubble out shows it’s holding air-looks trashy from outside. Next I found these blackout shade that’s reflective on one side, black on other. Easily...

    Calling perfectionists vs ‘send it people - mini split placement

    What about line set exit? I was just cut a hole and caulk a notched surface mounting block

    Seems to work? Ppl are voting Did you do a block with j channels? I have 2x4 wall so o would have to span 3 studs to get a secure mount.

    Now I’m kinda entertaining it. Everyone keeps. Talking about noise and vibration issues. I’m also worried about vinyl flex/expansion. Area doesn’t get any sun

    Zone 6/Minnesota - minisplit vs natural gas for maintaining ~50F in winter?

    Also in MN, I just bought a 24k Senville aura unit for 700sqft garage. Probably oversized for the space, but I was more concerned about heat than cooling. TBD on performance once I get it installed

    My concern was how close it would be to the AC unit and air flow. Pic doesn’t do justice but two feet over would just be 🤙 between the two

    Calling perfectionists vs ‘send it people - mini split placement

    After the utmost care in measurements making sure I would have the perfect exit point on the exterior wall, I failed to realize I’ll be about 2 feet short on the line set from ideal condenser position. I wanted the IDU to sit fairly center in 3 car garage for optimal air flow, ultimately does...

    Garage seals, concrete, winter weather

    Attempt to install plastic layer on my single pane windows initially looked good but the weather seal duck tape failed overnight. Didn’t really stick to polystyrene backing. Aluminum foil tape might be better??

    Garage seals, concrete, winter weather

    Nothing to do with overhangs for me. My garage is sloped so car melt rolls down and meets the garage door bottom seal and anything that creeps under freezes. The bottom seal is also accumulating water somehow and all it drains out the sides when the door goes up- contributing to more ice buildup.

    I was all set for mini split, but…

    Did you mount yours on the ceiling? How does it look like with line sets exiting? Best option is high on wall like most. Trying to keep lower wall space clear

    I was all set for mini split, but…

    I feel most I’ve read about have a freeze protection setting at 46deg.
