Many do exactly that, and I am wishing I could right now. At this point many mini splits seem to be put in existing construction, and it is generally far easier to run an outside wall than open up a wall. The only down side that I can think of to being in a wall is access if there is a problem...

Yep, I understand the point that brewchief makes, but the vendor with the quote I couldn't quite handle told me directly they would do anything I wanted, the full job as quoted, install anything I bought, or just do a vacuum / pressure test / adjust and turn up for a self install. He did make...

Well, we're a bunch of pansies here in the states.... It's funny actually, it has been in the mid to upper 90's around here for the last few weeks, I order an A/C unit and it cools down. Still, those two pics are an our or two after sunset, and it is still hot an humid in the garage. I...

The 18K unit I received today specifies a 20 amp breaker. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

It's here... Averitt Express driver could not have been better. Unloaded with a lift gate and pallet jack up the driveway. Even helped me unbox and inspect. Sounds like he's interested in one too. Shared some stories on units he's delivered. Initial impressions are very positive. I have...

At home this morning awaiting delivery. Outside it's 75 and 91% humidity (foggy and looks like rain). Insulation seems to work... Still feels much better outside than in. Jason Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Don't you just love that little UMX T-28 ? Awesome plane. I have the UMX, the original 44" and the Carbon Z. Jason

Wow.... I thought my quotes at around $4,500 for an 18K were on the high side ! Is there some special situation / very difficult install that is driving the cost, or is your area generally high ? The company that quoted a Trane (rebadged Gree) for me was actually very nice about it, and...

Agreed, although as others have mentioned there is a scientific way to go about it to be as sure as possible. If you are looking at the MrCool units, there is very little cost difference between a 12K and an 18K anyway, and there is much less worry about over sizing these inverter units as I...

Order was placed Friday afternoon, shipment picked up Monday afternoon, and was at the closest hub (about 50 miles away) this morning. Home delivery scheduled for Thursday. Meanwhile, here is why I'm doing this. These were taken the last couple of nights... Jason Sent from my Nexus 6...

The lights made an amazing difference, but your 350 disappeared.... Good luck with the project ! Jason

Looks great ! Looked like a nice, clean, sold build to begin with, but the interior work has really changed the character. I like the orange too... Jason

I'm a complete novice, just have been paying attention to the A/C threads and doing research for a few months now. Just based on that, even though you are well insulated, I'm wondering if both units are on the small side. Will be interesting to see how your experiment goes, with a 30 degree...

Wow, amazing progress, and I can only dream of that kind of space ! On the Pontiac wheels, I am far from a Pontiac guy, actually I'm far from an American car guy, but I am a child of the 70's and had friends with these cars. I would not throw those wheels away. The deep lip confirms your...

I would hope half-assed DIY jobs were far more common, but sometimes I do wonder. It's hard to get me to do something, even harder sometimes to get me to finish something, but when I do it, it's done as right I can do it. Jason

Awesome, as someone who is in for too much on too small a space, I'm in to watch this one. Jason

Well, I pondered it a little longer than I expected, but the trigger has been pulled. Placed an order with Ingrams Water and Air this afternoon. A few others have done these lately, so my install might not be all that exciting, but I will document the process as promised. I really like the...

In a world where most people, builders and owners alike, exaggerate the size of garages, you just called over 1,400 square feet "3 car". Your three car garage is bigger than my first house... Congrats, and great job on doing the forms yourself and saving some money ! Jason

Haven't updated in a while, progress has been slow. I have gotten some paint and trim work done and started moving things back in to the "old" 16X24 section... The table has actually been sitting in my driveway, blocking the attached garage door for almost a year. Sometimes I feel sorry for...

Geeez, you stole the flooring, good deal ! I'm a fan of yellow, so start a theme and go with it. The only down sides of plastic floors usually are the hollow noise it makes when walked on (see the threads here for putting down landscape fabric to take care of that) and it can't take welding...
