3 weeks on the road!

And the mini split performed flawlessly in the 5.0. Just too bad we had to return to 104 temps back in central TX! Going to try to remove the old rooftop this week.

Great point! When the rooftop comes off, I’ll really inspect wires up there and where they route to as well as their color. I’m figuring if I put another fantastic fan up there, I can just use the...

Thanks! I figured I could trace both sets of wires from A/C and heater to find out what goes to what. When the mini split is successful (and I have NO doubt it will) I’ll probably jury rig it into my...

I cut away two sides of the cover piece mounting block and the lines are pretty tight up against the shell, but there is a bit of a gap. I’ll probably ignore it, seems like a little metal flashing...
