Hey thought next video would be about water source If some thing fell through why not take 5 or 10 min and see how other places around the world drill wells NO NO NO not just soft no rock or like that pvc pipe sand drilling People have been drilling wells up to and over 500 feet with a rope wood pole and a home made drilling bit since at least the thirteen hundreds You Guys take on crazy Giant imposable to most road building both of you can fab things from scratch blessed with awesome tools to do so But you cant make a small balance beam rocker with simple type easy to make winch simple percussion drill bit Then hook the rocker arm to a lawn mover motor then run through pulley on pig poles? My old buddy drilled wells all his life with a percussion drill rig You have to baby set it and it could take a week of 10 hour days if deep and all rock You mostly set in shade drinking beer shooting the shit or falling asleep when you pass short learning curve IT IS JUST PICKING SOMETHING HEAVY WITH HARDENED STEEL POINTS UP AND DROPPING IT TILL YOU SEE IT IN YOUR SLEEP LOL When you hit water good you will have to run a very simple home made bailer down the hole to clean it out and test gallon per min Guys I know this sounds simple because it is lol I would laugh my ass off if you lost the rope or cable down the hole and have to spend half the day fishing it out So if you guy drill it your self with a small home made rig fake your old man goofing off and having to go fishing ! You have subs to entertain LOL I dont know you guys from adam but there is a dad with wisdom and maybe a touch of money and tons of loving his kid in back ground some where You guys are to young to do what you do with out at least wisdom being sheared from some where!!!!

Glad to see you doing it yourself. A few suggestions if I may from someone in the industry. 1. Ductboard is great... until it's not. Your indoor unit will develop an inch of static or more. As it's in the hot attic, the tape will delaminate and the ductboard will blow apart. You must inspect it regularly. Make sure you are using the correct foil tape. Regular duct tape won't last a year no matter what it's called. We often use clips on the seams. 2. Install a second zip tie on the flex duct. It's remarkable just how often those ties fail. You are also not using a zip tie gun, so they are not nearly as tight as they otherwise would be. Then take a third tie, roll the outer face over the insulation and lightly zip it down. Makes for a clean installation and critters have a harder time entering it. 3. Those mechanical fittings always leak. Do yourself a favor and buy a refrigerator sniffer and test the fittings to make sure they aren't leaking. You may be able to buy the precharged unit yourself, but you can't buy replacement refrigerant without a license. Check for leaks when changing the filter. 4. During very cold weather, the unit is less efficient at heating. It will struggle. That is normal. It will also not heat the house well and will run constantly. In very cold weather, you need a backup source of heat. As this unit doesn't have backup strip heat, you still need that wood stove. 5. Icing of the outdoor unit in heating mode is normal. Icing of the indoor unit in cooling is not. 6. The lack of a trap on the overflow will allow unfiltered air from the attic into the air handler depending upon how the unit is configured. That little wavy trap you installed has very little static pressure capability. You should install a proper trap. 7. Do yourself a favor and install a water bug alarm in the drip pan.

These inverter driven compressor systems don't struggle to heat at low temperatures. They have 100% heating capability down to -5F and 78% at -22F. I put an 18K BTU 220V MrCool mini split in to replace a 12K BTU 110V window AC. My electric bill is lower than last summer and my home has been much more comfortable. I don;t know yet whether I'll use the gas furnace this winter or the MrCool. What would be nice is a thermostat that can coordinate the heat functions of the heat pump and the furnace.

From personal experience, I would take a small piece of window screen and form it over the drain pan drain because you’ve already had rodents and insects in the attic and wasps and mud Dobbers love to use that open hole to make a home and then it doesn’t drain water and I’m sure you get the point a piece of screen screwed down to prevent them from getting to it helps

I wonder if u could use a small piece of a pool chlorine tablet occasionally in the condensate overflow tray to stove off rodents & pests if water did ever happen to flow into it, the water would activate the pool chlorine, sterilise the water to reduce algae buildup & keep unwanted pests away & from drinking or using it.

Maybe you already thought of it but you might want to capture the condensate for auxiliary free water. When we installed our first central air split system I put a 5 gal bucket at the condensate outlet and it would fill up every single day. So I exchanged the 5 gal bucket for a 55 gal drum and used the collected water for irrigating our garden. It was very expensive water to make, so I did not want it to go to waste.
@Rickmakes

Something to consider... Generally speaking, it isn't recommended to use AC condensate for things related to human consumption since it can contain heavy metals. Might be good for a flower garden but probably best to avoid using it in a vegetable garden.

@@xNYCMarc I AM a regular watcher and also I am aware of their "machine" to make water. I also know that they were not pleased with how it worked (watch the follow-up episode) and had to find another alternative for getting water. I was simply offering them an alternative that I found, that may be useful for their needs, as well as the needs for anyone else who might watch their channel. Admittedly this method may not work for everyone as I live in the south where it is quite humid in the summertime and there is lots of moisture in the air to make water out of.

I have two Mr. Cool mini-split units and one failed last week at 5-1/2 years. Based on the lack of response from Mr. Cool in past years, I decided to rip it out and replace it with a main line brand as the warranty problems must be verified by a licensed HVAC technician anyway. Many HVAC contractors will not touch DIY installations. The fixed length DIY line sets really limit the condenser placement and the suction line is actually braided steel rubber hose with copper ends. I'm going with real copper lines and the flexibility of placing the condenser appropriately. No doubt, Mr. Cool is a hot seller and just about every major KZbinr has a few free ones.

BC Rockies here. The skidsteer height solution brought back a memory from 40 years ago when working on a beehive burner at a mom and pop lumber mill in the Columbia valley when I was eighteen. The conveyer from the mill to the burner ran up at a 30ish degree angle and had come apart past the halfway point. Sooo the foreman puts TWO lifts of lumber on the forklift and wanted me to climb on top of the two lifts of wood and THEN be lifted to the max height of the forklift, ON UNEVEN GROUND! And then reach up further to manhandle the fix. I respectfully declined. So they got some other poor sap to do it. He lived. I was not fired nor reprimanded for the refusal to work. We didn't have cell phones then but it only takes a regular land line and one little finger to make one little call the WCB, workers compensation board, who is in charge of paying damaged workers.

Put a little piece of screen over both ends of the pipe for the secondary drain pan and the end ( outside ) of the primary drain line so you don't get dirt dobbers clogging up the drains and flooding your attic. Just put a square of screen over the end of the pipe pull the edges of the screen down the sides of the pipe and secure in place with a sun resistant zip tie.

Next step would be the efficient use of water by splitting it into fresh water, grey water and black water. You could catch the condensate of the a/c units and add it to the grey water tank. Or maybe even add it to the fresh water tank with additional filtration. The grey water can be used to flush the toilet and for irrigation.

Pro Tip for using a hole saw. Replace the drill bit in the hole saw with a section of drill rod with a rounded tip. Use a regular drill bit to drill the pilot hole. The smooth shank of the drioo rod will NOT enlarge the pilot hole and the hole saw will cut a cleaner hole, and you don't end up with a broken bit in the middle of your job. If the air flow out of your outlets is too much and restricting the registers makes them noisy you may be able toadjust the fan motor speed.

I use a 36.000 Mr. Cool and it has beena very good investment. It cools my whole house. I had a wall bracket in my garage that I didn't use for Mr Cool I put mine on a concrete pad. we don't get that much snow load here.

Wish I'd have known about DIY ducted systems a couple years ago, would have saved me a few thousand bucks. Great video, great install, thanks for taking us along.

Thanks for the honesty you two deliver to your viewers I really enjoy watching all of your adventures. Glad to see how this project came to fruition and would like to see an update on your choice and use of that no-flush toilet incineration you put in. Looking forward to enjoy more from your Northern Idahoan off grid lifestyle which is actually yet of my Southern Albertan locale. 👋🖖

You need to fix the condensate P-Trap. The one you installed is not deep enough. 2+2 inches is the correct size. Check your manual. This is very important for this unit because the blower pulls air through the cooling coil. If the trap is too shallow, the condensate will not drain while the blower is running. The blower will also pull air from the drain causing condensate splashing at the drain outlet. This can often cause water leaking at the sheet metal seam. Fix that and this is a superb video installation. Mr. Cool definitely got their money’s worth for advertising. They should pay you royalties for each view. That second drain opening is for a secondary drain pipe if the main condensate pipe stops draining. An optional float switch to shut off the thermostat wire for cooling is also part of most attic installation codes for the sub pan. The condensate line in attics can also drip condensation from the surface of the pipe, so it is often insulated to prevent condensation. I am very glad to see those special line-set valves installed. This makes it all possible and easy for DIY. Safety on leaders is a big deal but that tote stacking idea was an excellent idea & safer than working off a ladder.

When I lived in Portland, Or, all my registers were in the ceiling which is great for air conditioning as cold air falls but sucks for heating, cause it raises and it stayed up there. Despite running ceiling fans in every room the way they should be run in the winter to force the warm air down, for the 9 months of the year the heat was on, my feet and legs were always freezing 🥶 So if you already have radiant heat floor 👏👏👏👏👏👏 you are ahead of the curve on this one

I got a tiny chunk of wood in the corner of my eye. We were camping and a friend used a little stick to carefully pluck it out. Sort of like surgery. Nice cool air for you place. Wonderful.
