The workshop will be nice to work in year round. Installing a Mr. Cool Heat pump in the workshop.

[@lastoeck]

Evan - you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge of how to do absolutely everything! Congrats on getting the heat pump donated, that's huge!

[@debbiebarnes2723]

Totally agree

[@garystlaske7703]

How about it , those things start out at 2k

[@leol1682]

Love how you explane instaling a Mr. Cool heat to pump every minute of it ,

[@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity]

If you just pour a concrete pad, 2 foot bigger than the unit, set unit 2 foot from the wall for servicing, you don’t have to worry about hitting it with the lawnmower.

[@waderue]

ya i am going buy one of those for my house when do my remold to it

[@redmapleleaf4617]

You installed that like a PRO. I am so impressed with all the things you can do.

[@blakeloke6997]

I totally agree with your assessment of the Mr. Cool unit. We're on our third season with two 24k units in our shop and they've worked flawlessly. I liked them so much I installed a 24k in our pool house outbuilding. The first unit took the better part of a day to install. The second took almost 4 hours. The third took two hours. Our son-in-law liked the units so much he asked me to help him install one in his garage. So, he bought a "just like Mr. Cool" unit and saved $200. He may have saved $200 but it took two of us a full day to install it. It was a royal pain. Tolerances of routing the lines within the unit were incorrect and the line set was extremely hard to bend without kinking. Thanks for the video!

[@bevnelson3678]

Awesome Even. Even you definitely picked the right woman for your wife. Rebekah is one in a million.❤

[@jaywest4102]

Evan, cut the few inches off the front of hanger and plant some bushes on the sides of the outdoor unit as a bumper for the mower.

[@tanneradams20]

Friggin awesome for them to provide it for you. You guys definitely deserve a gift like this one.

[@joannak4640]

I am happy for you. Just so you know, to tell true humidity, you need to start watching your dew point. The weather can say 100 percent humidity just because it's raining. But that humidity feels nothing like the hot humid days of summer. Just a little FYI. If you start following your dew point, it will tell you a lot 👍

[@ronniewilliz153]

Heat is easy to deal with but humidity and heat sucks lol.

[@joannak4640]

@@ronniewilliz153 I hear you! I live in Corpus Christi TX 😂

[@johnsadler8637]

Yes, dew point is a much more fundamental measure. It is also intuitive and gives you a target - keep air temp above dew point and there won’t be condensation. We have a dehumidifier in our little cabin - the slab would be cold in spring and dew point would go higher than the slab. Now it stays at 50% relative humidity so it’s good and dry.

I have a friend with a 40x80 shop that he spray foam insulated. He then put a similar unit in as you did in this video and it blew me away at how well it works. Even in Florida heat and humidity it keeps that huge shop very comfortable. Amazing how well these units work.

[@pjfan173]

So only one unit in a 40’x80’ shop keeps it cool in Florida?

WOW that building is really coming together ..... nice and toasty for this winter for sure

[@intheshoptv]

I reached out to them too for our “Hidden Creek Homestead” channel but they told me to get lost with my tiny subscriber count lol. So I paid for it… I bought the same 36k unit and had it installed by myself in just a few hours. Been working great so far. Good luck Evan.

Interestingly enough, I started installing my own Mr Cool system today in my new workshop building...

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

That Mr. Cool is quite a unit. And do it yourself at that. The workshop will be a work of art when you get through with it.

[@helenhelps9619]

We put a heatpump in our lake house it works great we're very happy with it summer and winter. 👍👍❤️

That is a very cool unit Evan, thanks for the video!

[@HaroldReece]

Nice install on the mini split. It will be nice to have a heated and cooled workshop. Thanks for sharing.

[@yragleffus]

You may want to look at a portable dehumidifier as well.

[@timmieclark9976]

Once you clean the rust off the jointer bed or table saw, put paste wax on it and it won't rust. You just have to add more wax as you use the tools and it wears off. That's how I keep the rust away. I use Johnsons paste wax for floors.

[@adamboone6864]

Pro Tip: Make sure to check those fittings in a couple weeks and again in a couple months. The vibration from running will surely loosen them.

[@hiddenvalleyfarmstead]

I can't wait for a one year update!! Lol I have been looking at those!

[@thomassheltonjr6274]

Nicely done I would recommend a surge protector added to your outside disconnect box. You need to protect those boards on that outdoor unit from power surges and brownouts

[@kd5inm]

[@gusbracewell3856]

Evan to remove the rust from your tools all you need is some brass wire wheels and WD40 clean rags and your cordless drill or grinder depending on what type of brass wheels you purchase and buff away after you get the rust off go back with some ascestone and clean rags to get all the oil from the surfaces,then apply some wax on the surfaces Rockler sells products for proctoring the cast iron and steel surfaces.

[@1Silverlining]

Well done sir, well done.

[@dalekronk496]

Ok, first, great job on the installation. But with the line set being in a coil like it is over time, it will destroy the outdoor unit. The reason is that your refrigerant has oil in it. Any oil will settle in the bottom of the line set.

[@seanbaxter1692]

So if he unrolled the coil it would last longer ?

[@wheelb4973]

Easy to install and looks great . Best of all it works . Maybe outside hose can be shortened and it is a 💯

[@worldsbestwatcher3735]

The unit mostly likely would be quieter (inside) if it was mounted on a concrete slab and away from the window. Good luck.

[@waynegauthier155]

As an add on to keep your equipment from rusting, I used to use a metal wax/polish on the metal surfaces. It also makes for a slicker surface for the wood to ride on.

[@chrism.2231]

I am not too far away from you in S. Wisc. and I know what you mean about humidity. I insulated the shop when I built it, but I only heat it with a Kerosene torpedo heater or a propane heater, and in both cases, it introduces even more humidity to the space. For things like the table saw top, or machining tool surfaces, I have had good luck waxing them. Pretty simple and protects the surface. I would love to install a unit at some point, and probably should considering that is the industry I work in, lol. Take care!

[@carolmackenzie2283]

[@smooth247fyi]

I hate to say this but just because you have an AC/Heat unit doesn't mean your stuff won't still rust. Adding A/C will actually create even more humidity problems. The problem is the construction of pole barns with the metal shell makes for a nightmare humidity issues. You need insane amounts of insulation and a dehumidifier plus the temperature control unit (which you have). Good luck and hope your new unit is enough to solve your problem!

[@jamesmoore1743]

Evan If I Didn't Know Better I would I would have thought you wasn't installer for that company you did a great job. Now I have a suggestion that can also help you with your moisture problem in your your Workshop or any space in your house that has moisture problems even your basement. And this is a DIY item that I learned when I used to work for a retail supply company and I used to sell power tools and I made a lot of money by getting the scale rust off of people's tools and I passed this on from my old time of the taught me this. Get you some containers to about the same size the bigger the container the better off it would be and put you some curriculum nitrate which is mostly ice melt or get you some well salt and place that in one bucket/ container that has drain holes in the bottom of it and place that inside the other bucket container so it can catch the runoff of moisture that is in the particular area where you place it at.Evsn it sounds funny but it works TRUST & BELIEVE . Now to remove that scale rust at our job the best thing to do is to get you some penetrating oil like WD-40 and spray it on the rough surfaces and let it sit and come back with an orbital da sander with some sandpaper of at least 180 grit or higher and sand the surface to remove the surface rust. Wipe off with a horrible wreck and get you some of floor wax or beeswax and buff it on the surfaces and that will leave a penetrating protected against any more rust on the metal surfaces. Please try these DIY suggestions I'm sure you be happy with the outcome

[@patricklipsius8380]

Ventilation is always the key

[@brucejordan3339]

Great job Evan, you could use a wall mount garden hose bracket to support those hoses and cables and a car spare wheel vinyl cover to protect the hoses

[@CountryViewAcres]

Sounds like a good idea

[@garykersteiner4936]

After you buff the iron surfaces with some fine steel wool to remove the rust you can apply a coat of car wax . This aids two ways: your work will slide easily on the surface and it will slow down future rusting.

[@sandratalbert9578]

Kudos You must be thrilled! Looked like a great DIY piece of equipment. 👍👍👍

[@CountryViewAcres]

Yes I am very happy. It is getting cold in a few days. It will be a nice place to work.

I installed a Mr. Cool, FYI, they have an Outdoor Air Lockout of 40 degs. And they don’t heat very well when the oa temp gets below that. Great unit for cooling though.

[@roberto.peterson9917]

One suggestion like to make take some plastic window screen and put on intake side of condenser this to keep cottonwood and others air floating organic matter from plugging up coil surface major pain to get off if you don't

[@mimicolvin3200]

Wow Evan you are an awesome homesteader. The things/jobs you do are amazing. Installing your heat pump look so simple when you did it. Fantastic job well done.

Yes I really like the MrCool, I was wondering about them and after the way you show us the installation I am getting one for my two car Garage, I live in Arizona and we spend a lot of time in the garage, but it gets so hot we have to stop. As for your tools you can lightly spray them and wipe them with W-D 40 helps alot with the rust

Some rust cleaners may cause contamination on new wood, causing finishing penetration problems later. I sanded all my table tops until very smooth and shiny. then I used steel wool. Then cleaned them with denatured alcohol. Then sprayed on Glidecoat heavy and buffed it all down. No more rust!
