Thanks! 😊

Thanks! We plan on saving them, probably to use for a shed.

😂 true, this video is a lot of talking. Although this video covers about 240 man hours of labor. So we definitely did our fair share of actual work it’s just not on camera.

Thank you so much!

I said “joints” although it does kinda sound like “drains” 😂

​@@themastsyou made your own version of the Laurel/Yanni test 🤣🤣

😂

Shits mad easy

if that's what does it for you 😂

Installed my mini split in 2010. Bought it from Canadian tire for $999.99. It's been working flawlessly. Came pre-charged with 410A. I just cracked it for 10 seconds to purge. What you don't see is the DYI installs that do actually work.

Not everyone is as smooth brained as you may think. You may want to check your ego. I've been various levels of poor all my life. I'm very knowledgeable and capable.

Homeowners can’t even install a thermostat, imagine a full on horizontal in the attic 😂

Oh no! Glad it caught you! I promptly got off the roof after I realized it was sketchy.

😂 I don’t make a habit of wearing them in public, they’re my painting/boating/gardening shoes.

I’m glad it helped!!

I like my Crocs, haha! (Just not on a wet metal roof.)

Guardian is made by Johnson Controls. They are a budget option with features just below what York offers. I have had very few issues with them.

It's a York

Way more than 2500 worth of equipment just in one shot 🫣

It does take a lot of equipment and experience to get into this business. It was difficult to show every step of this day long project in a one minute video.

It's a RUclips short bro. It's not a how to video.

​@@themastsso you admit that it's not some simple or cheap DIY. For someone with zero tools/equipment, you're gonna spend more than half of what you could have paid a pro to do it.

The compressor locked up, and the unit was 23 years old, so instead of switching out the compressor we changed out the unit.

@@themasts that looks like one of the YORK Stellar units from the 90’s. Might have had a Bristol recip .. they were high end in their day

@@stephenjenner484I’m sure it was! Unfortunately this one hit its limit.

The customer didn’t want them redone. With a good cleaning they’ll do the job, they just won’t be super pretty.

Most ductwork is poorly installed and usually customers won't pay to fix it.

That's not included in the job

How much would that cost? Our ducts are in the foundation and have gotten filthy and rusty after water leaks flooded them. We'd like to just move them into the attic. The rooms mostly surround the attic in a ring except for the master bathroom.

Haha, I did! 🤣 It’s not my full time job, (I’m a teacher) but I hooked up the electrical and adjusted the ductwork to fit the new unit. I try to be as helpful as possible! 😊 Also Aaron isn’t a fan of doing voiceovers, and doesn’t get videos of me working. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@themasts The video was great 👍

🤣, it really was. I just forgot to film it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@themasts🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

🤣 💀

We pump them down into the condenser, and recover at the shop. Sometimes of course you can't because of hermetic failure. Saves us time overall and techs on calls

Please reply back when you replace you hvac units and let us know how much money you spent when you had to call an actual hvac guy to fix your mess up

@StangxX who cares? If it has to be replaced what can come of trying my hand at it if I have the inclination. There is everything to gain and nothing to lose

DIY is not the best way to go, it will end up costing you more than just getting a professional to do it, the tools need alone even at the worse levels are 3K

Buddy buddy buddy... It can definitely cause you to "Lose". Lose lots and lots of money. If you have plenty, then sure, give it a go! ​@@commandertaco1762

Thanks!

The customer didn’t want the heater to be replaced, so only the AC equipment is new.

@themasts Nice. I live in South Florida and don't get to see a lot of furnaces

That cased coil is definitely used. They don’t even understand what we are talking about lol

@hvacguy11 I could tell but I don't have the time to waste proving the point that it was

@hvacguy11 @J-O-H-N I realized I misunderstood the question when someone on Instagram asked the same thing and explained what they were seeing. This brand of coil comes with a copper plug on the stub out it has to be taken off using heat. So it is new, just looks used because of that. 😊

He’s taught me a lot of things, so now I guess I get to return the favor. 😊 lol, I must hang around too many older tradesmen because I use it too! 😂

@@danstaffier 😂

😂 Fair point, but we’re going for quality not speed. Plus this North wall is tricky since the panels are so long we have to be careful not to bend the steel.

Are aviation offset snips different than the normal construction offset snips we are using? If they’re that much better we might just have to get some!

I’m not sure but I think the zip system doesn’t require paper

Correct, zip is the WRB as long as it's taped

zip system is both the sheating and the housewrap in one. That's a why a lot of new construction is using that system. It's all about speed and efficiency these days but not necessarily quality.

Yep, you’re correct, we didn’t put up paper. Zip System is two in one, it’s great!

Thank you!

Thank you! We want to keep it real by keeping track of the time and cost. Our goal is to be open about the process. 😊

Thank you!

For the black board and batten we have a local building supplier that makes this profile of siding. There isn’t really a brand. For the wood grain siding/soffit it is Quality Edge.

Haha 😂, you seem to be the only one who caught that! It’s Aaron’s brother outside with a flashlight. 🔦

That’s okay, not everyone has to be. 😊

@themasts I doubt very many will be. If everyone is a "content creator" or "influencer" then nobody is a "content creator" or "influencer". You should listen to your boyfriend. You're better off not telling everyone about your mediocre life while you hopelessly stare at your screen hoping for a quick endorphin rush when you suddenly get a few "likes" and "subscribers".

I mean, you’re not wrong. Not everyone can be a content creator. But even if it’s just for me I like documenting my husband and I’s progress it’s a lot of HARD WORK and I’m very proud of it.

Man just comes out swinging at strangers for no reason. Let the lady make her videos.

Bet the mouth piece on that instrument smell like hot ass 💩😷

For sure! We just haven’t gotten that far yet.

😂😂😂

Everything that has to do with the basement (footers, pea gravel, under pad foam, concrete walls, cement deck, egress well, pad, rebar, etc) was $52000. Just the setting of the forms, labor, and cement for walls and deck was $37000 of the $52000. It could have been quite a lot cheaper but we chose to do a suspended deck which made it a lot more expensive.
