    Not really a work thing today, just trying to clean and organize my garage. As you can see in this small sample sized photo, I just have stuff all over at the moment. Unfortunately, I live In hail country during the summer, so I have to have space in the garage to pull a car in. Otherwise, I would probably never have the miter saw or table saw folded up against the wall. Also, I feel like I do this about monthly... then I buy something new and start the process all over again trying to create room and remaining organized. The life of a craftsman.. I guess?

  17. Ductless A/c install

    Hey what's up Mike!! People would melt if there was no A/c here the humidity is crazy high here 82% yesterday and it hasn't rained in days. Its hard to say which way is more affordable there is a ton of variables to consider but it all depends on your contractor. You may not have to run duct work with a ductless but depending on how many units you need you would have to wire up each condenser which gets pricey. Lets say the way your house is built you can't do one condenser (outdoor unit) with multiple head units (indoor unit). So you would have to have three outdoor units plus wire each one, and if your electrical service can't handle that it would be a huge expense to upgrade your service. They have an inverter which is the same energy efficient technology as a mini split that is ducted and looks just like a standard A/c split system. Which may be cheaper then mini splits, because it would need less breakers added and only two units to wire up. You do have to do the duct work as well but Its much nicer than having this huge ugly machine hanging on your wall in every room of the house. Plus you would have all these crazy  ugly pipe raceways on the side of your house for the refrigerant piping going to each room. I will one day change my standard units with an inverter model one day. But theres so much to consider, I think mini splits are great for one or two rooms. But to do a whole house with mini splits I believe an inverter with ductwork is a better option. Plus who want's to keep up with five mini split remotes..lol I hope this helps Mike and not confuse you more ;D  

    Yo Justin!! Thanks for all the info and explaining things for me bro, it's been hot over here the past few days I think yesterday was the hottest at about 106 I think and boy those are the times I wish we had central air, we have a wall unit that does pretty good but it's still gets hot and being fat doesn't help lol! I've been wanting to invest but we're planning on selling the house in a year or 2 and I know the a\c would help in selling but those funds aren't in the budget at the moment ☹️ But anyways if for some reason we magically come across the money you will be the first I come to for some advice! Thanks brotha!
