    Concealed duct mini splits, do I need duct work?

    Hey, I'm looking at a concealed duct mini split system (I can't seem to find a 60K BTU single zone system with low temperature handling with any other type of handler). Link to what I'm looking at below. Do I actually need to install duct work? Or could I just hang this inside the garage and...

    Looking for people from cold weather climates/Midwest/NE with minisplits! Can it heat?

    I've been looking at minisplits for awhile for my 48x32 barn with 11' ceilings. I was ready to pull the trigger when the guy on the phone said I'd need 78K BTU's to heat my space. I was shocked because many had said 48K BTU's would be overkill. This is what I was looking at...

    I'm working on finishing the inside of my 48x32 11' ceiling barn. I could write up a long list of all the things I've done wrong... However, I've made good progress. The walls are done. So that just leaves the ceiling. I'm installing purlins every 4' between my trusses (to prevent sag). My...

    How to hang garage door tracks with metal ceiling?

    I'm working on finishing the inside of my barn. I'm about to get started on the ceiling, using metal pro rib (the same stuff as on the walls in the picture), and noticed my garage door tracks were hung a little weird. They are mounted to a 2x6 laying on TOP of the bottom chord of the trusses...

    Best ways to mount heavy items on pro rib metal...

    Back with another question... What are suggestions on how to mount heavier items against metal pro rib? For example, a TV or built on 2x4 shelving. I was originally thinking of just some wood spacers on the girts and tie into that, but saw some threads on unistrut. Im not familiar with how to...

    What do I do about outlets that land on the rib and are overly recessed when finishing barn with metal pro rib interior?

    Hi all, I'm a total newb, DIY'er here, working on finishing the inside of my barn so I can climate control this thing for the chilly winters and hot summers. Things have been moving along slowly, but steadily. There's a lot of things I guessed at (e.g. how to connect trim pieces). But I'm...
