This is one of thousands reasons why I do everything myself too! ...and now I feel some level of enviousness ... ... because I love cooking! rrrrrrrrrrrr!

[@chrisdaniel1339]

I 100% agree about doing projects myself and doing them properly. I purchase a 16 year old home a number of years ago and the prior owner did a DIY kitchen renovation, but there were hidden wire splices that became apparent when the InSinkErator (food grinder in kitchen sink) had a seal go bad and start leaking water under the kitchen sink cabinet. There was a hissing sound and the smell of burnt wood and plastic. I pulled the front faces/doors off my kitchen cabinets and slid out the floor panel in the cabinet and there was a Romex wire run under the carcass of the cabinet with a wire nut hidden connection(code violation) and it was arcing against the underside of the wood cabinet. The previous owners did not know what they were doing and nearly burned down my house.

That oven is absolutely stunning! I hope to have something similar in the future!

[@Deiphobuzz]

Im the same as you, if its within my abilities, i must do everything myself. I installed 4 MHI heatpumps in my home myself. I had a coworker show me how its done and did it all myself. He just signed he papers afterwards, its not hard at all.

😅 i understand your pain...

[@mjdiiii]

Hiring any contractor seems to be the hardest part of owning property. In my 70's and the tools are getting heavier. Sometimes I have to give in........... Beautiful stove!!

[@mindsparx1]

Im at where you are in 20 years... That's why I'm trying to get everything together before then. :)

[@FuuzBeeen]

Now that is a meaty cook set.

[@henrik9596]

I had pretty much the same experience when they installed my heat pump as well. I ended up fixing the problem myself rather then call on them to fix it 😅 Also such a nice stove you got there

[@mindsparx1]

The worst thing is that in Sweden you have to hire these people by law to get the installation right. I think DIY people do it 100 times better since it's our home and we care about it.

[@henrik9596]

​@@mindsparx1its the same here in Norway. We are not allowed to purchase a heat pump without also making an appointment with a certified installer.

[@mullvaden83]

Asså vad va det för åsna som borra rakt genom regeln. När han kan se regeln nedanför för fan!

[@mindsparx1]

Eller hur...

[@stout8529]

How do you like your Lofra stove so far?

[@mindsparx1]

Love it, i just used it a few minutes ago :)

[@simfoo]

Just get a quick-connect set that has the lines evacuated already and do it yourself anyway. Or get an R290 heat pump which doesn't fall in the F-gases category so you're allowed to install yourself

[@mindsparx1]

It used to be like that, but Greta banned it, or rather the industry...

[@simfoo]

@@mindsparx1 is that a special regulation in Sweden? EU F-gases enactment excludes R290 and thus doesn't apply. In Germany anyone is allowed to install them.

[@mindsparx1]

​@@simfoo Yes, I installed those before but they were banned-. I think the companies got the ban through to send out their minions

[@remielowik]

@@mindsparx1 The R290s(propane) are not banned but you do not have many split units with it as its your not allowed much gas inside the house. So its many used for monoblocks instead. The prefilled ones are indeed mostly banned for personal installation.

[@morrisek1]

Could you share what you do for a living? I see that you have some nice workplace for projects and to store your equipment and would like to have similar 😊 And great job with the house, I am looking at all your video once again.

[@mindsparx1]

I build industrial robots for a living under my own brand, so i have a lot of equipment :)

[@morrisek1]

​@@mindsparx1wow sounds cool. If you have something about the machines already on the web you can share it if you want, would be interesting. Going back to the house project, why afaik in Sweden houses are built from wood not from bricks? Is that way cheaper or easier/requires less maintenance? I am asking because where I live (Poland) wooden houses didn't gain to much popularity. Moreover I see that wooden house requires more skills to be done properly.

[@mindsparx1]

@@morrisek1 I think it's about access, Sweden is one of the countries that has the most wood in the world, so it probably depends on that...

[@roberthughes2665]

Contractors...Grrr. we have Mr.Cool brand DIY units that come precharged with the gases in the lines. The have plastic covers for outside to elp look better

[@mindsparx1]

We had it before but they banned them because of the risk of them leaking, stupid but these are the times we live in

[@roberthughes2665]

@mindsparx1 so true. I understand the idea but frustrating as DIYers. Do what you can. You are very talented. That stove is amazing 👏

[@MrHamof]

@@mindsparx1 The problem of course is that for every you there's 99 people who think they could be you but are actually less competent than that AC guy.
