    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    That might just be the IR gun, vs the temp probe. I tried the gun too, and it read 54. Jason

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    After two hours... Really sucking the humidity out of the air. Decided to stick a bucket under the drain to catch the condensate for a while after I noticed the stream that was flowing... Jason Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    It's up and running ! Got busy between storms, family and forestry, and didn't get a lot of pics over the weekend, but at this point there are other threads and videos, and it looks mostly the same as those. So far, I'm impressed. After running for an hour, the temp has only dropped 3...

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Lost the pic I had with part of the Fortress cover installed mentioned above, so grabbed another. Have not accomplished much this week between the sprinkler leak, working late and storms. Located the wall studs and started with the outside unit wall mounting yesterday. Have school visits...

    Spray foam will be great if you don't mind paying for it, I went with traditional fiberglass. I'm trying out the cheap DIY route with a MrCool unit. The thread is here if you want to check it out... http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=330969 Jason

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    I guess "I didn't get to work on my air conditioning for the garage because my irrigation system was leaking" is one of those "first world problems" people refer to, but arrrgh.... Seems I'm the only one on the family who thought that a creek running down the driveway was unusual... I did...

    Re: insulated 30x40 - exhaust fan recommendation & Dehumidifier I'm in NE GA, your temp and humidity are going to look something like... Edited for the correct pic. That's just now, in a stick built insulated garage. If life will cooperate, I'll have a mini split running in a few...

    Mr cool diy install hints

    Sounds like you were putting together hints while I was out installing mine. The biggest issues I have had so far are working with the long lineset pre-attached to the indoor unit, and you are right about the vinyl sleeve wanting to bunch pushing through a 3 inch hole. I ended up with a...

    30x50 pole barn w/ 30x20 gym

    I'm just a novice here, but these two statements / goals are a little conflicting based on my research over the last few months. If you only want to cool the place a couple of hours at a time, you will need to significantly oversize to bring the temp down quickly. To keep the humidity down and...

    Why are mini-split popular heat source for garages ?

    I looked at heat / cool window units, but I also have a humidity problem. $500 to $600 or so for a comparable size window unit, plus $200 to $300 for a dehumidifier, and I decided to go with a cheap $1,100 mini split. I'm not supposed to have window units, and didn't want to lose a window...

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    More than tiny, decided I wanted the indoor unit top flush with the "loft", probably a 2" drop was necessary to get under the soffit and line the cover base up with the soffit trim. Jason

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    You caught me editing, mostly it's there because I'm an idiot. I probably didn't need it, but installing over the door, over the moulding, the bracket is small enough I was afraid I was going to be over a mostly empty bay. I really would have probably been fine, as I wasn't thinking about the...

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    This weekend wasn't quite as productive as I had hoped, but that's the story of my life, and I'm used to it. Got the inside unit mounted at least. Sorry, no glamour shots here, you get to see the real mess in there. This was Saturday working around family time and meals. Shot of some of the...

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Wow, yeah that would not make me happy. Guess they just saw it as "declined" from their end, but still I would expect them to call and sort out it out. Hopefully new stock is in soon, if you still want to buy from them. Jason Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Mini-split: How do you find an installer if ordering online?

    Wow, you went from what seemed to be a rediculous quote to less than I was quoted on Trane and Daiken for a Mitsubishi ! As long as they do a good job, that worked out ! Did they give any insight as to why the other quotes may have been so high ? Jason

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Yeah, really thought your metal building was going to be a challenge, but looks pretty well insulated. The high ceilings were the driver for me to go to an 18K unit. Jealous of your space, that's a nice size. Jason
