Having the right holesaw is a difference between paying 20 bucks and not paying 20 bucks. I went with a smaller PVC pipe because of it.

Did you charge it yourself? I am planning on doing it myself...

SHOP MINI SPLIT INSTALL THREAD: I have received my new mini split AC for my shop and have started installing it on the wall. So far l have hung the indoor unit and cut the pass thru for the wall. The indoor air handler is hung on a sheet metal hanger that is easy to install with two screws into the stud walls. The pass through is a piece of PVC that the liquid lines and wiring go to the outside unit. The unit came with a flimsy plastic pipe for the pass through. However, I had some spare PVC and more importantly I already had the right size hole saw for the pipe. #diy #grownostr #hvac #hvac

Random orbit sanders are not the sexiest tools out there… They don’t cut wood. They don’t fasten joints. But they finish the job. Literally. This tool doesn’t just polish your project… it polishes your skills. #tools #woodworking #grownostr #FabricatorsFieldGuide

Yes, I did!

From your experience, what’s the best budget tool that outperforms expensive ones? #grownostr #tools #diy #woodworking #metalworking #asknostr

I’ll try to post some. I should get it next week. Cheers!

It’s not a DIY unit per say… It is precharged but needs to be vacuumed down before charging. The DIY ones seem to be a premium for pre vacuumed lines. It is a Senville off of Amazon. They don’t like the DIY installs as it will break the warranty. But the price was good and I will take the chance. I think there are really only two or so makers of the mini splits. All I need to get is a cheap vacuum pump and manifold set.

GM! I think it may be Christmas in July… Last night I placed an order for a mini split air conditioner for the shop/studio! It has been very hot and humid where we are so I am looking forward to its arrival and install that I will do myself. It’s Christmas! That I am paying for… Gladly! #coffeechain #grownostr #diy
