    Been loving following along. Another great example of using what you have. Some people just love to wake up on a Sunday morning to piss and moan.. video posted 10 minutes ago and already have clowns. It's like they hit the subscribe button just to hate. Keep up the great content

    Great Job Young Man..Im learning from ya..I have concrete going in sometime this Spring. whenever that decides to get here..(Utah)
    The idea of having some forms ready for some extra slabs whenever the concrete truck shows up will save me some work down the line ..keep up the good work

      Thank you! Yeah make some forms so you don't waste any concrete, it's insanely expensive these days

    Don’t forget the air gap needed between the equipment and the house.

      It's very small (6" I believe) since they are designed to be bracket mounted as well.

    Did you think of just pouring the concrete directly into the form and skipping the wheel barrow?

      We did but it was kind of awkward to dump the mixer so we didn't really want to maneuver the skid steer more than we had to. Wheel barrow was easy

    i sent you a email for the sketch for the base for the air unite it looks awesome. looking for the ducting video? thanks for the info great work.

    Good job. But first you need to add water, and then other ingredients. Also i think the mixer should be empty when you start it , because the engine may fail.

      Lol that old mixer is on it's last leg 😅 it's actually an old Sears electric model!

    How come you didn't hang those units off the wall? I think they need to be free from snow for heat in the winter months? I was asking because I was planning on installing those on my garage.

      Wall brackets are a good solution, but there will be stone veneer on the wall which I didn't want to interfere with. I considered elevating them on the pad with a spacer, but then remembered we rarely, if ever get snow in our area in recent history.

    OT. Curious about the HF ramps you used to unload the concrete mixer. Foldable & arched. They look like decent quality. Would you recommend these HF ramps?

      Haha yeah! I've had them for many years, originally bought for loading quads and dirtbikes onto a truck bed but useful for all sorts of stuff.

    1:02 was that really necessary? Talk about over thinking something. Wow.

      I'd typically delete this comment but I'll address for the sake of anyone else who might find this helpful - Yes, modeling the layout was very helpful and a great use of 10 minutes.
      It allowed me to clearly see how the units would fit on either of the precast pads, make sure their mounting feet would land within a reasonable distance from the edges to prevent the anchors from fracturing, plus meet their required operating clearances to each other and the house. It allowed me to easily visualize several various positionings to see if my existing slabs would work (they wouldn't). Additionally, as you may see in our install video, the linesets for our MRCOOL units are precharged and a fixed length, so the orientation and positioning of the units relative to the house is critical for that to work out.
      TLDR: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
