    Anybody have one of these VEVOR Walk-behind, Hand-Push Floor Sweeper?

    I do, I bought it try out the concept and specifically bought Vevor because I couldn't stomach paying what some of the other brands wanted. it works well enough but it's not perfect. I can sweep up with it, but at least for me in my shop it gets the majority but not everything. Certain types...

    Mini-Split - stainless steel linesets

    When I bought mine that was that the only thing available, and I just didn't read through, of course they're instock now but it's a little bit late. I'll look at them in person and decide I guess. I hope you like your Pioneers, any issues so far?

    Mini-Split - stainless steel linesets

    Its slated to come Friday (the entire package) so hopefully this weekend I can take a look. So few people have heard of these it makes me wonder if there's a tradeoff. I agree but it wouldn't the first time that crappy line-set (like what white insulation that breaks down and causes corrosion...

    Mini-Split - stainless steel linesets

    GJ folks - does any one have any experience with stainless steel line-sets? I ordered a couple of pioneer mini-splits that came with the "ezflex" line-set which are described as flexible stainless steel but from the photos have a traditional piece of copper and flare nut on the end. While I...

    Mounting indoor mini-split on metal panel

    Is there any tips on mounting an indoor mini-split air handler on a metal liner panel (like tuff rib or similar) mounted vertically. I will have additional girts behind the panel so no problem in having something to screw to. I was considering using unistrut run vertically with a horizontal...

    Coval Concrete in Satin after Formula 137 failure

    Thanks for that - I'm still torn, mainly because I just don't want to go through the grinding and polishing route.

    Coval Concrete in Satin after Formula 137 failure

    Thanks for this - I was considering a oleophobic coating like Ghostshield 8510 for my new shop. Not looking forward to polishing it all out but maybe it'll be worth it. All things to consider.

    Mini split condenser distance from wall

    Did the Alpine installation manual say that it was supported? I've had units both that did and did not allow for a decrease in required spacing between the rear of the unit when installed on brackets.

    Mini split condenser distance from wall

    When elevated on a bracket the Mr Cool unit to wall distance requirement is 6". Normally manufacturers allow airflow to come up from the bottom as well, something that doesn't work on the ground.

    running waterline and internet to my shop

    You can certainly use direct burial ethernet cable (cat 5/6) but you'd be better off having a conduit. With a least a couple pulled , in case one dies.

    Shop Nation - how much does a shop building cost?

    It was a little more difficult dealing w/ the Morton sales folks - delays in between when we'd discuss and when I would get the quote. I know others have raved about them, so perhaps it was guy assigned to me. The Morton was turnkey more or less having those large rolls that fit in between the...

    Shop Nation - how much does a shop building cost?

    I just started construction for in middle TN (about 1.5 hr nw Nashville) for a 60x40x14 post-frame with a 12ft lean-to down one side at about 137k. I looked at Morton but it was near 220 (but was turn key). Includes 5" concrete under lean-to and building two 12x14 insulated garage doors 1 man...

    Mini splits in a 40x60 pole building

    How is the indoor humidity when the units run so little? Do you think the combined 36k BTU is over or under sized (or both depending on season)? - I have a 40x60 going up and trying to size HVAC (I'm in a more humid environment so trying to size right right or plan for dedicated dehum)

    Forgo slab insulation?

    I'm still new to a lot of this - I thought that insulation was just that, it's dense enough to save off cracking of concrete due to settling? Also can you describe what your base was like underneath the concrete?

    Internet access in detached garage?

    Agree with Cobbler, Ethernet is the easiest however make sure you account for all the routing within the house. If you get to close, you can run a pre-terminated fiber and get two inexpensive switches with SFP/SFP+ termination. Lastly I had good success with Ubiquiti WiFI bridges at my last...
