    Wranglerstar, years and years ago I was a chef at the Hilton. We needed 3000 wontons made.so each won-tonrice wrapper is 3x3 inches. You lay them out flat put a scoop of filling in each one then take a brush with water and wet the edges so when they are folded they stick together. SO A Tedious Task, well we had one of our younger members of our crew to perform this task. Usually this task would take 3 1/2 - 4 hours to complete. Well after an hour he reported all complete, we couldn’t believe. Sure enough there were racks and racks of won-tons completed. We asked how he got it done so fast. He said well I found the very large stainless table that could hold 500 at a time laid the wrappers edge to edge and put filling on each one. We asked how these’ll he could rush the edges with water without disturbing the filling with the brush, he immediately whipped out two squirt guns from his back pocket. So YES a Smart Lazy Man is needed.

The tech support was very good and helped me get the parts that were missing and get the rest job done. I had put one in my place a few years ago and had no problems. Yearly cleaning of the inside unit and it has given me no problems.

    I'm not sure about how the norms are in the US, but here in northern Europe we usually hang the compressors on a wall. You are going to need condensation water to drain, so putting in on the wall makes that part a lot more convenient. Espeically during winters. That way you don't have to cover it up to protect it from the elements either.

    G'day Cody, having done more spilt systems that I care to remember ........... I've never seen one that doesn't offer plumbing and cable exit directly through/behind the head unit. i.e. piping and electrics, with cover, all external. Any compelling reason why you're planning on doing it that way ?
    Mighty cute mate ......... no one can ever take those memories away. I have two grown daughters ..... you gotta show her that vid, (amongst others), down the track ...... fair to say, .... no guaranteed, ....... another level of joy is yet to be had ; )
    Cheers Duke.

  • @MaMa-st2eg
    @MaMa-st2eg 6 месяцев назад +9

    The unit should be high up as possible. Cold air sinks and moving the air from the top will push cold air down and circulate the hot air up. The unit will also need to be at the least 12 inches from a ceiling to pull the air in to cool. I have used mini split systems for more than a decade and installed 4 myself. Also, you are going to need to perform head cleaning on the inside so having g enough space around the system to work is best.

    I’ve put in 6 DIY mini splits and the first couple I ran the line sets through interior/exterior walls trying to minimize/hide things. You will kick yourself WHEN you have to replace them. Now I go directly thru the exterior wall and use an external chase down to the compressor.

    Given the amout of snow you get, i would think a wall mount would be good foe that condenser.. then it can run as a heatpump too..
    Sure, you have wood stove, so not a big deal.. but having a backup heat source is always good.
    I do love a nice concrete pour.. its always so nice to get thst concrete finish perfect!

    I personally really like the "monobloc" systems, over the mini splits.
    They're newer, but have less "surface" to have issues that can cause loss of refrigerant charge, in a more protected housing.
    It's just easier to move chilled or heated water and use old fashioned radiators, or simply radiative heating/cooling in the floor.

    @stevetiberio8676 6 месяцев назад

    1. Most definitely install condensor on a stand to keep it up and away from the snow and ensure good draining during defrost cycles. When snow is blowing around it can really accumulate on these units as it gets sucked thru the back radiator fins. They self defrost but that water freezes up as soon as it exits the unit and can back up until theres no place for defrost water to go. Been there! Manually defrosting with a propane torch in a blizzard. No bueno.
    2. Mount the head upstairs or you'll be kicking yourself when it's 10 degrees hotter up there in summer months.

    Minisplits are the fizz. If you need heat/ac, get one. You can install them yourself even if it's not a DIY style and requires a vacuum pump. Don't let the HVAC people rip you off. I put one in my garage a few years ago for $600. A co-worker had an HVAC company install one in their house and it cost over $5k. Mine works great. They've had nothing but trouble.

You want to avoid shammers and flim flammers who cut corners that don't need to be cut and then they just look busy while other people do the work. They're both smart and lazy and they really don't want to do any work. other than catching up on naptime.
