Sorry to hear it's so cold there this morning.. (Prelude to global warming?)
It's about 20 here right now. It would a fine day for a Mini-split ductless.
But, I'm burning up gallons (1GPH) with my old multi-fuel boiler..
This thing needed a large pad. It was a messy DIY job.
The 24,000 BTU outdoor unit is 130 pounds, so I can likely get away using stuff that I have on hand. But, I do wont to avoid any complications if the city inspectors have to come by.
Can't wait to see the pictures. Want to see how you did the AC wiring,
conduit etc..
Got to head for the bowling alley..
