This video shows how I installed my Mr. Cool Mini Split unit to get air conditioning and heat into my shop. The best part about this split unit is that its DIY friendly and anyone can install. My workshop, which is also my garage is 750 sqft, and this 24K split unit cools the space in no time and keeps the temperature at comfortable levels with ease. It is also a smart unit which means I can control everything from temperature, humidity and even schedules from my phone. Hope you guys enjoy this installation video, and if you have any questions for me feel free to put them in the comments section below.

Superior job. You explained things perfectly. I loved the ladder trick !
Haha thanks. Glad you got something useful from it. They work great
@@KomarProject what kind of wire gauge and breaker did you use to connect this ac unit??
Bad installation, a vacuum must be done first to eliminate air
Excellent job glad that you are OK thank you for sharing! :)
@@internetisinteresting7720 You missed the point of the pre-charged lineset.
I really appreciated you keeping that fall in the video. That’s real life and a real mistake. Many youtubers aren’t humble enough to show those types of things.
Thanks J. Figured if I can show my stupidity to people maybe it will help someone from doing my mistakes. Thanks for the support
I agree ... thanks for being genuine. Glad you didn't get hurt!
I always thought the danger of stepping on the top of the ladder was perhaps losing ones balance...your video of the fall shows the ladder shifting. Amazed you did not break something! Incredible how fast gravity is! I'm grateful you were not hurt seriously.
I was thinking the same thing. Happens to all of us. Could’ve been a lot worse. Glad he avoided the drill
I also needed to see the fall and remember how I tend to rush and make mistakes. Take the extra second and thing before doing something!
Great job. I love the step by step WITHOUT cutting out some of the oops. This is the real life stuff. I'm a firefighter and one of the best instructors I had once said. The best way to learn if from mistakes, but life is to short to make all your own mistakes so learn for other peoples mistakes. Once again, Good work.
That’s right. Make the mistakes and learn from them. Well said
The grunts and pain sounds were so satisfying to hear 😂 I must have watched that part 20 times easy.
All jokes aside, you almost recorded honey bunny becoming a widow. Don’t ever take your life for granted and always keep safety as the number one priority ALWAYS!!!
Wait...so this dude took the time to invest in camera gear, mic, editing software, time to go back, re-shoot stuff, then took the time share it for FREE...and there's still assholes who hit the "thumbs down"? Covid didn't do what it needed to do in the world.
Massive thanks for sharing this man. I plan adding one of these to my shop! Stay up!
Thank you so much Corban I really appreciate the support brother
👑you dropped this chief
The ones who gave it a thumbs down are probably hvac technicians, who probably know like I do that diy and hvac is not a good mix, unless it’s a window unit. In the real world, things go wrong, and when it does, the do it yourselfer who doesn’t understand how these machines work are going to be clueless on what to do and will have to do a lot of research or take the system out, ask for a warrantied replacement and start all over again. Already seen this happen a few times. It’s always a gamble. Better off to pay a little more and buy a good quality brand from a reputable hvac contractor and let them install it and they will stand behind it if something goes wrong.
I'm really appreciative of you leaving that part in the video. I've been working on a ton of home improvement projects this summer and have been spending a lot of time on a few different ladders. Complacency is definitely one of the best ways to take a trip to the hospital so it's crucial to be mindful and patient while working. No DIY project is worth sacrificing safety.
You are so right Aaron!!! Take that time a asses your safety !! Thanks for the support !!
Really nice job. I just got a 2 zone version of MrCool and haven't started the install yet. I know one of the hardest things is going to be pulling that trigger on the drill to start cutting the first hole through my wall. It's great that you left in that ladder mishap for all of us to be reminded of how quickly we can go from doing great, to potential tragedy. I just lost my second oldest brother last Wednesday because of a similar decision on his part trying to retrieve a tail light from the street. He was hit by a vehicle and killed. God bless you all and take the extra second to think about what you are doing and taking the extra step (not on a ladder) to stay safe.
My condolences to you on your loss!
Perfect job !!! 35 years in this business and can see quality of job. Respect
Thank you so much Vlad
Thank you for the video! Did you have to vacuum your lines first?
Thank you for leaving the fall and rubber mistake part in the video, tells how real you are about teaching folks and not just to show off perfection. You my friend are great and have an absolute sense of humor that made the video more fun to watch, I want to say I’ve learned a lot from you that’s not just a mini split hook up. ❤❤
Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) th-cam.com/users/postUgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVyb5O . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.
Not everyone would admit and show others the mistake you made on that ladder...but by letting others see that you may have saved someone elses life...someones dad, mother, son, daughter or even a close friend might watch this and make make it home instead of becoming a statistic. You have serious respect from me!
Thanks so much Chris!! That was my intent. Hopefully someone will learn from my mistake. Appreciate the support
Damn bro, glad you didn't get truly hurt. Anybody that is giving you flack for leaving that in the video is not a good human being. You are just showing us that all people are imperfect. You made a decision without actually thinking about the decision you were making it lead to negative consequences. Thankfully it's only that you got the wind knocked out of you, and we are so glad that you are safe and not hurt. Everyone forgets to think about what they're doing for just a second sometimes. Anybody who says they'd never done anything stupid and gotten hurt as a result, is lying. I think it's amazing that you were brave enough to share that with the world. Thank you Broseph you are a BAMF.
Thanks brother! That means a lot. Really appreciate your support, always!!
Glad you left the fall in the video. This shows that accidents can happen to anyone. Also glad you didn't get hurt to bad.
The fall off the ladder was awesome! I got a good laugh. I’m glad you didn’t get hurt. Great learning experience for others too. I’m an electrician and plan to show my coworkers on Monday. Ironically, we are building a hospital😂. Great video on the mini split install too!
The fact that you kept it in the video is the reason I subscribed. Thank you for the great and honest video!
Your very welcome. And thank you for the support
I'm so glad you left in the ladder incident. As a construction project engineer, safety is paramount and needs constant vigilance. And yes I have also had accidents at home, which like you I was lucky. Don't rely on luck, get someone to help.
I was working with an old timer (very experienced guy, jack of all trades) putting up siding and immediately after lecturing me on how to properly stand on & use a ladder, he leaned to far sideways on a 6ft step ladder, leaned up against the house, kicked out sideways and fell and broke both bones in his forearm. I myself had a very near miss on a 4ft cheap alum. step ladder (like the one in this video) leaned up against the vanity in my bathroom. While changing a light bulb it slid out and very nearly bashed my face on the countertop and/or mirror. Getting in a hurry and complacent/ overconfident WILL catch up with you. Those aluminum ladders suck! Glad to see you didnt get seriously hurt. Anyways, great video, great work, thanks for the insight. I cant wait til my DIY mini shows up! Thumbs up!
glad you learned a lesson at 5 feet, instead of 30.
Me too lol
Yeah, l learnt that lesson too and got away with a scrap, hanging off a roof gutter, which was well nailed :)
I learned the same lesson at 8 feet but there wasn't any oh oh oh oh oh I laid there and gasp for air for 5 minutes
I got two herniated discs messed up one of my knees to the point I need a knee replacement and I tore a tendon and a ligament all by falling 5 feet to a concrete floor. You never think something bad can happen.
Growing up, I had a neighbor that fell and crushed both heels. Not a good time.
Glad you were ok! I also fell once while Hammer drilling an 1.25 hole off a 8' step ladder leaned against the wall. The vibration caused the gravel under the ladder feet to subside! I too was lucky!
Ya it just takes that one second of concentration laps. We both need to be more careful brother
Dude you need someone hold your lader
The ladder safety reminder is always worthwhile, even if it was at the expense of a little pride. Kudos to you or senior for knowing to use the waterproof EMT connector on your disconnect.
I fell off of a 50 foot ladder once. It scared the hell out of me. Only thing that saved me was that I was on the bottom rung when I fell.
ha ha
I was like 50ft LADDER?! wtf?! Lol👍
😂
This is one of my favorite you tube videos I've watched! I helped my dad install one of these and I'm doing one in my house now. You did a wonderful job of explaining the process. Thank you
Thanks so much !!! Really appreciate the support !!
Coming from an HVAC guy since I was 19 typically these DIY videos hurt my feelings but you did a good clean job!
Thanks so much Richard. This was my first time and I’m super happy with how it came out
Richard, whats your opinion on leaving the access line coiled behind the unit? I feel like everybody on the internet claims you couldn't bc of oil but MrCool themselves says to only uncoil what you're going to use and leave the access coiled. Kinda mixed messages. Lmk.
@@philkingmke The best way to coil the lineset is horizontally and not vertically. When you coil the lineset vertically it creates traps for the refrigerant oil (POE Oil) and over time it will keep the oil from returning to the compressor and hurt the compressor. Have I personally seen a compressor blow up because someone coiled it vertically? No. But this is information you’ll find in install manuals from other major mini split manufacturers such as Mitsubishi and Fujitsu and it’s been preached as “best practice” my entire HVAC life.
@@richardwoeckener2622 thats why I find it so interesting...bc if they're telling you to do that with their own units, they must stand behind that method. I'm about to do it since I don't need all 25' that comes with it so I guess we'll see. Lol.
I appreciate you showing the ladder fall. I think it's important for all of us to learn from each other's successes and failures. Keeps us all safer. Glad you're ok.
I like the fact that you left your ladder accident in. You seem to know well what you were doing, and yet, that happen. Glad to see you were ok. Thanks for the reminder that it can happen to anyone of us.
Thanks buddy. I’m all good now and will never do that again lol
@@KomarProject I’m buying me a 18 K unit compliments of your video. I’m subscribed to your channel to support you. And that bicycle you made is sick as hell! Thanks for what you do.
You a real one for keeping it in the video!!
Man you couldn't have made this look any easier (except for the ladder part of course lol). Great job and thanks for the video! I'm ready to install one in my garage now!!!!
That’s awesome Scott. It’s really is an easy install. Go get it
I just installed the 24K unit in my home, waiting for connectors as my lines were not long enough for my installation. I installed on an inside wall, ran lines through the attic and was 6 feet short, had to order 16-foot lines and couplers to extend. I Cannot wait to fire it up. BTW I had help from grandson who is an electrician's apprentice and daughter's boyfriend who is a master electrician.
Falling off the ladder ended up being a positive for this video because you used that to drive home a point about safety. You didn't equivocate, make excuses, etc. you owned your mistake and stressed how even the most reoutine, mundance things can be dangerous and in a way are even more dangerous because we get so complacent and nonchalant about those things. Good job on the entire video!
Great video and very nice work. The only thing that I would recommend as an hvac technician to anyone doing this job is to get a vacuum pump and vacuum the system before opening the lines and allow refrigerant flow. It is highly recommended to remove moisture from system because that could potentially create problems in the future especially with compressor! Other than that great video 👍
With this unit you don’t have to. That the beauty of it, it’s done in the factory before sealing everything. But otherwise you are absolutely right
@@KomarProject wow thats great 👍
Nice work and I give you a 10 on your dismount! Glad you weren’t hurt too bad and I think we have all done something similar! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the house.
Thanks,
DC
Thanks Dan!! The dismount was lacking a triple twist lol so maybe a 7 lol.
We are installing one of these for our dad; we watched together, and are confident we can do this; thank you.
You got this !
Kudos to you for not editing out that fall. Not something to be frightened off, but to learn from👍👍
Great video, ordering mine now for the outbuilding/shop. I saved your video to reference when I put mine up. You probably saved a lot of people from making stupid mistakes in general with the ladder trick. I know a dumb screwup usually buys me a bunch of months of safety conscience.
As a guy who rode a 32 foot ladder into the dirt twice, I can say that 'ohhhh, ohhh-ooooh, ohhhh' is the official universal response to fall damage.
Haha ohhhhh ahhhh ohhh 😮
15 footer here with T12 vertebrae compression fracture. Was changing the bulb in a motion light. Chipmunks tunneled under the brick patio I had my ladder on caused it to cave in and ladder tipped. I’m lucky I wasn’t paralyzed.
Concur. Would like to see the slo-mo version though.
What a great video. You just teach everything. Never thought I needed a concrete slab for the outside unit which is the first thing I’ll do now before the A/C technician arrives. Thank you for sharing this.
They make brackets so you can wall mount them also.
He’s right about being careful doing “basic” stuff. My biggest injuries are from becoming in a hurry and complacent working. Glad you’re ok buddy!
I call them "moments of ZEN": When you know you're not supposed to be doing something...and then you do it anyway. I've bounced a framing nail off my forehead, launched a piece of casing into my abdomen, actually touched the blade of my tablesaw, bent a ladder leg 90 degrees with my ribs doing what you were doing and just last week, put a joist nail in my mouth to hold it to put on the end of my palm nailer! I stopped!!!! Not two nails later, I had the palm nailer loaded up and it it popped and fired the nail into the wall. Listen to the moment of ZEN!!! Great installation video on AC. Keep bringing the entertainment Bart! Keep bouncin!!!!
Wow G you sound like me, a lot. I catch myself doing dumb things all the time and usually it works out. It that day was just stupid. Stay safe brother !!
the falls or ups and downs are part of the journey ! keep going amazing to see your progress :)
Thanks so much!! It was a learning experience for sure !
That fall was hilarious. Got a very good laugh out of it as well as bringing in the new ladder!! Glad you’re OK.
I love that you owned up to your mistake and didn't edit it out. That is awesome! Great video!
Thanks so much Beto
See this is the kind of work I can't wait to get more into because I can't sit in a office all day. I like being out and plus when you do stuff like this yourself you enjoy it so much more!
Well said my friend !!
Tough fall. Glad you are 👌 That is the exact unit I’m going for in my garage shop. Great job
Tony it’s so amazing. It literally cooled the entire shop in about 10 minutes from stupid hot.
Komar Project amazing! It’s so hot in my shop and I’m sweating so much I don’t dare use mdf right now
I have to like this video just due to the laughter I got out of him falling off the ladder and being such a good sport about it!!
Man I love that you left the fall. Been there done that. It’s a reminder..glad you are good and your AC is up an running.😂😂
Thanks man. Ya the I’m good and the AC is perfect. Love having heat in the winter and ac in the summer
Thank you so much for keeping that in the video. I do projects all the time and sometimes get ahead of myself and that will help me to pay attention to safety. Awesome video. Thank you.
That’s awesome. Love hearing that my stupidity helps keep some people safe. Really appreciate it
I think it was great that you left in the bloopers. Folks need to know how this stuff works in the real world!
Thanks man. Really appreciate it
I'm still deciding if I want to tackle this myself or pay my AC guy to do it
Don't worry about the fall. You may be a little sore after. But I fell from a ladder of 15 feet and broke my back in 2 places, broke my wrist and shattered my right heel. So I'd say your good. Very informative video. I will be purchasing my own mini split shortly. Thanks for the video.
You are very welcome Marty. And I’m so sorry to hear about your fall. Hope you’re all recovered and feeling back to your self
Great install and a great PSA about always being aware of what you're doing👍 I've had lapses of focus like that too
Ya you have to be very careful
As soon as you put that first foot up, I said, "no way", can't believe you left it in though. Most guys would've nixed it from the video, kudos to you for doing that. Now, so glad you didn't get more hurt. My first fear was you possibly stabbing yourself with that monster masonry bit. Best yet, can't believe you didn't cuss.
Your the second person that mentioned the bit lol. I never even though about it till now. Nightmares for sure lol.
i am so glad that 1 inch bit didnt landed and hurt you... my friend felt of a ladder and he got cut real bad. ladder is no joke and thank you for leaving that part in. to some, please learn from others' mistake..
Great video, I was seriously watching it then all of a sudden came to the ladder and I can't help it. It also serve as a warning for DIY's, I give you 10 for your great installation, very clean installation.
As soon as I saw that fall I subscribed and gave a thumbs up! Excellent video (so far)! I'm considering the same project and this is super helpful. Keeping the fall in was a class move and will make me think twice the next time I'm thinking trying to get a little more lift from my ladder.
Thanks brother. Ya be carful on the ladder
Flashbacks of that news lady stomping on grapes and falling off the platform.
Lol
Good job Bart
Owwww. Owwwwwe. Ooooowwwwwww.
First time I watched a video of yours. I like how you show it all and comment it. Thanks a lot for sharing, because now I know for sure, that I won’t be able to install a split type AC myself. Sadly a certified aircon technician costs a fortune in Germany. Most likely almost 2x as the AC unit itself.
With this unit you can do it yourself and don’t need to hire a technician. But if your not comfortable doing it I totally understand. Hope you figure it out and get a unit in to stay cool my friend. Best of luck
Nice Al Bundy dismount from the ladder. Like my Dad used to say, “try and be sharper than the tool you’re using” Great Video. Cheers.
Really enjoy your content and good for you leaving in the stupid stuff, glad you didn’t get hurt.
Thanks so much Ed!
Definitely not a simple DIY job. You did an amazing job installing the unit together. Very professional and the finishing touches done well. It’s nice when your handy by the existing tools you had laying around. Not sure what you do but I can tell you have a lot of experience. Intimidating for your average Joe but inspiring to take on some jobs!!! Ya killed it!!!
Bro you're not a professional ,you are the best, thank you for this video
Thank you!!
I hope you didn't hurt yourself to bad! That fall left me horrified! Thank you for doing the video. It's given me a lot of confidence. I will try my next mini split install and then call my electrician!
I’m good laysha !! Glad you enjoyed the video
The music after the fall. Such a good PSA tho. XD
Thanks lol
04:54 Sounds like my husband after a evening out at the bar LOL!
Lol
Love the video. I've fallen in exactly the same way, only cutting a tree limb and the limb swung under me and knocked me off of the ladder. Still young enough to bounce!
He! If you read a few books on the trades, you know exactly what to do and what not to do. The ladder is described in there. Dont use the upper steps. And never reach out on the sides, or you will fall and you can injure yourself. Always have the ladder on stable ground.
Just saying, you can stand on the upper steps even when its not advised, but you have to be sure not to reach out to the sides, and then you can get away with it.
Bottom line is, dont get your center of gravity outside of the ladder or it will tip over.
Greetings,
Jeff
p.s.
Nice AC unit! The precharged thing seems to be really easy. Im reading a book on AC units now. When im done i will know exactly how to get this job done with any AC unit. :D
I'm impressed how u made a kick bend in the ladder lol hands up !++
Lol
"Knocked the freaking wind out of me..." well yeah you landed flat on your back! 😂
Ohhh ya sure did
Oh, if I'd seen something like this 11 years ago, I may not have fallen off scaffolding while painting our house.🤦♀️ Now I'm a T5 complete paraplegic. A little fear isn't a bad thing. I, however, still have no fear of hights.🤷♀️ Glad you're ok!
Ya I’m terrified of heights and ladders have always been scary for me. Now it’s even worse, but i still use them. However I’m extra careful now and take every percussion I can. Sorry to hear about your situation.
Thanks for leaving the fall in the video, it shows a more real life video. I haven't seen/worn a shirt like the female in the beginning of the video in several years.
Sorry Bro, five days later i‘m still laughing 😂🤣😂 that‘s Home improvement 😉👍
Lmao ohh I get it lol
The OCD in me winced when that rubber stopper was left out of the final installation haha but great video man. Subscribing now.
Thanks so much. I cringed too lol
Thank you for leaving that safety contact in the video. We really needed to see that in real time. I’m usually planning my next step as I’m working on my current step which can cause me to lose focus. You covered a lot in a small time. Best video I’ve seen in awhile. And Mr. Cool should send you a beer and an ice pack. 😂
“This is not a step.” 🤣
Glad you’re ok. ❤️
Thanks brother!! Ya learned my lesson
Put a washer and nut on the cinch anchor set it to thickness of the pad and foot of unit. You will not overdrive the anchors. I also, think there is a warning label on the ladder to not stand above this step.
Awesome video but, sorry, I 🤣🤣🤣 when you fell
No worries. I did to a little. Then I cried lol
The fall from the ladder was hilarious !
Ah man I really hope your alright after they fall man especially since you where doing it to show us how this install went, props to you for taking ur time to help us but I really hope your ended up alright and bounced right back up with no injuries
I’m good man!!! Thanks so much
Oh the sweet sounds of tinitus! Earplugs Brother! Especially on a hammer drill. Ask me how I know!
Already there lol
Love that video good job!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you !!!
This is awesome. Tell the manufacturer to send me one and I'll do a review for them. Lol.
Thank you, Komar Projects. This gave me a much better idea what to expect.
You are very welcome
Better install video than the one from Mr. Cool!
I’m about to install one myself and noticed you have a 90 degree turn on your lineset. I need to make 2 turns and wasn’t sure if that would be a problem. Any issues making that turn?
Not really. Just be careful with it and make it a gentle 90. You defiantly don’t want to kink the lime. Good luck brother
I literally yelled stop just as your foot was reaching the top step.
Lmao I did too in my head
Great install video. But much respect for showing the issue you had with the ladder. Showing that could save someone's life.
Thanks so much Anthony. That’s my hope with it.
I like the fall and the informative talk after 👍 even if it was scripted or not still a good message
This video is fantastic - more or less exactly what I'll be doing at my place. Thanks!
What were the dimensions of the concrete pad you made for the condenser?
That area is covered with snow right now but I think it was 18x30. But don’t quote me on that. I’ll check it when the the snow gets lower
I just buy the slabs done already way easier
Glad your ok and it happens to the best of us when we're zoned in on the task at hand...
Stay safe and be Blessed...!!!
Awesome video! Keeping it real. I learned a lot too! Best most underrated TH-camr hands down
I wish that i had watched this before i put my unit in.
You didn't vacuum the system down?
I was wondering the same thing
If you watch the video you’ll know that vacuuming the lines is not needed with the pre-charged line sets from that manufacturer.
These are a new type of system - 'DIY'. They don't require an HVAC installer. These lines are vacuumed in the factory and charged and sealed before shipping. The connections have a release valve in them that prevents gasses from escaping until the connection is tightened. A desiccant canister removes any humidity that enters the system from when the connections are tightened.
Hi this is one of the best do-it-yourself video honestly I haven't seen you make it look so easy very well explained it's funny as heck be honest I rewind that part where you fall off about 12 times I laughed so hard but later on I feel so guilty as hell too you done a great job I wish I can have more people in easy going like you I appreciate you Lord bless you and your wife and your dad forever more 💯🙏🙏🙏🙏
IM GLAD U SHOULD THAT. IT HAPPEN TO ALL OF US. I WAS IN CONSTRUCTION BUILDING HOUSES AND I CANT TELL U HOW MANY TIMES I FELL OFF A LADDER OR THE FIRST FLOOR.
TKS FOR THE VIDEO ALL IN ALL IM GLAD IT TURNED OUT GREAT.
You are very welcome Skip
this is coming from a hvac professional, I have never seen a line set pre-charged with refrigerant. only the condenser is. I don't know how far from the wall you set the unit, but by code the unit must be no less than 12 inches from the exterior wall, and no less than three inches off the ground. for a package unit technically you have to pull three vacuums after hooking up the line set and pressure testing it with nitrogen, to remove all air and moisture from the line set and evaporator coil. that's what we call non condensables, the first vacuum is to 1,000 microns, the second to 500 microns, and the third is to pull it to 300 microns, and let it set for 24 hours to see if there are any changes due to micro leaks. then if it is good you release the refrigerant. the compressor in the condenser is a pump and can not pump water nor air. most of your newer compressors are cylindrical style and not a piston style. it will kill the compressor and most likely void any kind of manufacture warranty. other than that it was a pretty good install. and just fyi, a mini split, just incase you leak any 410A, is not charged by the standard pressure and super heat and sub cool. they are charged by weight only. so look at the info tag on the unit where the model and serial number is. it will have the factory charge either by ounce or pound depending on the manufacture. so you will need a refrigerant scale and a reclaim machine and a reclaim drum. weigh the Freon as you pull out the Freon into the reclaim drum weighing the amount that comes out. and you put in the difference to get it to the factory charge.
Bart, Bart, Bart.... Sigh. When you're 20 you bounce when you fall, shake it off and go right back to whatever dumb thing you were doing. I can swear to you from personal experience that by the time you hit 60, you don't bounce anymore. Reason being all the times you bounced when you were younger. A word to the wise
Pretty cool installing that mini-split by the way.
Ohh I agree with you brother. Hopefully this was a one time thing.
The ladder fall should be on ridiculousness 😂
nice job. uours didnt come with hole saw, or wrenches but thats just a few minutes digging thru the tools to find everything. thanks for the video.
Very welcome
I think I'm going to skip this one, I'm an HVAC tech, and this video is a bit too much like work.
Lmao
It was really easy, I'm a woman and it wasnt bad at all.
Best bush trim I have ever seen. Great video
