    How I run crappy Chicago Electric on 20v Dewalt batteries. Harbor freight hack

    Now the kit I bought even has a little clip connector so you dont have to solder. Connect the wires. Red to red black to black. Drill a hole in the chicago electric battery case to stuff your wires in and run out of the hole.

    Proper soffit venting and attic insulation?

    I made sure I ordered my 20x20 tuffshed garage with a ridge vent, but it didnt come with soffit vents. Easy fix but now after I started to insulate the attic it looks like the pitch of the roof makes it so my insulation blocks any airflow. I also have radiant barrier on the roof. Whats the...

    Messed up mini split now what?? Help!

    Now that I turned the allen bolts and released the refrigerant, when I pull a vacuum do I close off the allen bolts? Or do I leave them open to pull a vacuum on the whole system? Should I worry about the oil that spewed everywhere when the seal on the core remover blew? What a cluster! I was...

    Messed up mini split now what?? Help!

    Ok so I should pull a vacuum with the condensor allen bolts cracked ooen? Right now I have no pressure. The good thing is the unit takes 2 pounds of refrigerant and I have 2 pounds.

    Installing an old free mini split - purge?

    About 6 years ago my pops decided the minisplit in his sun room wasnt big enough. He let some sleeze scam him by saying if he bought this big expensive mini split and install then the guy would buy his old mini split from him for $3k. Of course the guy stopped answering my dads calls and so my...

    Amazon $79 10 pack Led review

My garage is 20 x 20 and I thought 10 units would be overkill. These say 6500k but who knows. Overall, I put up all 10 and its...
