The genius reason she puts a cinder block by her front door

[@ragmanintx]

FYI- Covering your AC unit is a Bad idea. Those compressors require unrestricted air flow to function properly.

[@JJ-ls4ej]

That’s what I thought too

[@sandracapps5543]

@@JJ-ls4ej It looks to me like it is covered only on 2 sides. Wouldn’t that still give enough airflow?

[@Paula-ky7pq]

Yes it does need good flow it won't last for a long time

[@DarkCrystal1960]

@@sandracapps5543 Can do all sides as long as the unit has 18 inches of breathing room ✌❤🌍

A/C, Heat Pump: Check with Manufacturers about required clearance before placing ANYTHING near your Heating and Air Conditioning unit. There's a reason that it has grills and fans.

[@esthermaggard8682]

Same thing I was going to say they wouldn’t get proper ventilation with that around it !!!

That would however, be a great idea to hide unsightly trash bins.

Did you see the title? Common sense and the laws of physics don't apply to geniuses Or maybe she just likes having visits from her HVAC technician.

[@SavedByFaithInJesus]

As an Electrician, I agree 1000% and if you don't give ME 3ft of clearance to work... I hate you. MORE than half my day is spent moving something the customer put in my way. Want to save money??? GIVE THE TRADES A CLEAR PATH!!!! Sooooory, been a long week.

[@reticulous_pets]

Please edit this to where people know to never put a wall around an AC unit. Restricting the flow of air to the condenser can damage the system.

[@joygwilliam5388]

These diy's are great. One thing, it would be nice if these were slowed down and a tutorial done so that all of us could do it, as I am a very new diyer I love your channel and the above is the only thing I feel needs done is the above statement. Thanx for sharing.

If you don’t seal the concrete blocks with a plant safe product they will suction off water from your plants - good for succulents but not so great for other types.

Seal the blocks with a plant safe product.

[@cLyon-xi9os]

@@singingwindrider9881 There several out there. Check Chalk paint dealers like DIY or milk paint dealers. I painted and sealed the outside of my concrete planters with paint and sealer but I still have to check them often to prevent drying out of soil. I have three on my porch and it has been trial and error with different plants. I live in a very hot part of the South and concrete heats up very fast here. Also there is a decoupage liquid that is food safe - that might work inside the blocks. I don’t know.

[@AnoraJohnson]

Good tip. Concrete does work with some watering methods though. The dry-soak method of letting soil dry well before soaking thoroughly works well with porous pots. It's important to monitor closely if using the method in outdoor heat...but a lot of plants thrive this way. I have huge geraniums and begonias that bloom year-round this way.

Don't do anything to mailboxes.... It makes great places for wasps to nest and makes the mail persons day miserable when they get stung.

[@JamieM470]

My first thought when I saw that was insects are gonna live in that.

[@bettywinslow6387]

In the Midwest they put up walls next to the box, to keep snowplow piles from knocking it over

[@lindahall3546]

If you try that mailbox thing ,in the south you better take a can of wasp spray with you every time you go to the mailbox!

[@stephanie1860]

And deer flies. 😅

[@itsjustme5030]

Plan on fixing it in the spring if you live anywhere that it snows because those plow drivers don't care what the snow they're plowing hits. I've seen a few of these with busted boards on country roads. Might be OK if you live in an area where they don't drive fast when plowing.

[@taysgram]

I feel sorry for mail carriers who have to put mail in a box surrounded by flowers. Don’t people realize it attracts stinging insects?

[@123pickles]

I'm convinced our mail person eats cookies on their route. Zillions of ants greet me during the summer. I spray wasp spray every few days here in the south.

[@robinsmith9580]

I live in the south so during the summer months, I place a fabric softener sheet in the mailbox. It keeps the insects away and my mail person happy 😃!

Not exactly a fire risk as ACs and Heatpumps have high pressure and temperature controls but yeah 100% agree that this part of the video should be edited out so that people who may not be aware of this dont just go out and ruin their conpressors or at the very least raise their energy bills.
