Picked up the flooring for the project house. This is the first load that Joe on the forklift managed to shoehorn into the Office. He only had about an inch on either side to work with. 63 boxes that all had to be hand-bombed inside and up stairs. At least I was able to back right up to the front step... from which I removed the old and ratty handrail.



The second load was much smaller. Just 16 boxes of vinyl plank flooring for the basement and tile for the bathroom floors. It did however manage to slide forward and off the pallet making it very difficult to unload.

Spendy, but very comfortable. It's her primary "Read/TV" chair, so probably worth it.

Room & Board is spendy, but they make nice stuff.

We’ve bought so much of our furniture from them our place could be a showroom. Actually have three more things being delivered on Wednesday. It is all really nice, and the staff at the stores are always so helpful.

Mini split for the garage!

I've thought about that. I have a cool workbench in the garage with all kinds of tech stuff. I'd probably spend more time out there if the temps were more tolerable. I'm just not sure it's worth the investment for me.

That sounds pretty cool! Wasn’t super expensive. Under $2k. It’s nice cause it keeps all my detailing products temperature controlled and the cars and it’s nice for when I’m working out there too. Especially here in Texas.

After a full day of mutual consultation, rubbing, sniffing and eventually crashing on it for the afternoon, The Boys have given their full seal of approval to the new chair.

Thanx. I get a lot of very positive reactions to it... and some negative. Apparently there are more coulrophobics out there than one would believe.
I've had people wait for me to come out of a store to tell me how much they like it. I've seen people hanging out their car window at 120kph trying to get a photo of it. It is a bit subtle for the most part but he ( I call him Ernie ) really jumps out at you on a bright sunny day.

Nice. Do you have insulated garage walls/ceiling and doors? I was planning to do the same, so I insulated the garage when we built, but doors are “standard.”

Curious of run time and overall efficiency.

Thanks and yes. Everything is insulated and doors are as tight as they can be. It’s a garage so I know I’ll lose some, but This unit will be way more efficient than my portable I had in there which wasn’t awful. Was 86 and got to 76 in about an hour with a warm car in there. It’s still new so I’m still learning it.

Love it. I’ve seen some garage rails that are almost “zigzagged” to suck the door tight. Do you have actual insulated doors or the panels that slide in to insulate? I’m looking to do the latter, but am skeptical. Garage doors face the west, so they get cooked in the summer despite the tree coverage.

Get a mini-split with a heat pump, so it is also useful in the winter.....

For sure. A toasty garage in winter is always good.

I have hardi siding wood doors and they’re insulated. And the suck pretty tight to the rails. For a garage I know it won’t be super air tight. And the panel kits do help, had them on my old doors. Pretty significant temperature difference, especially in the rooms over the garage.

I always hear get a Mitsubishi because if it ever needs anything, the techs know them.

Ya. I heard that too and you can, for triple the price I paid for this system. Not exaggerating either. This is a reputable enough brand, good warranty; 5 years, and it’s for a garage. If it breaks I can buy 3 more for the cost of the Mitsubishi.

If it were for my home, I’d maybe go that route. But mini splits are mainly made by midea or use those parts. I know people with this brand and have been happy with the long term performance.

But ya, Daiken and Mitsubishi are the mini split “leaders”

I've been curious about these. How about doing a little review once you've used it a bit?
