That's always a good thing Martin. The factory brackets we buy over the counter would in no way support all my weight on one edge near the end. The last one I used, I actually felt bad about using it instead of making my own.

Well, we never know when he'll have an engine to pull...so we need to be prepared just in case !! The big part of the job is coming soon my friend !! Have a safe and Happy I dependence Day ol' buddy. Sippin and tippin more JO yet your way DaveyJO.

Oh heck yeah, I use and abuse him equally along with my son in law !! LOL He's kept pretty busy with the two little boys in addition to his work schedule so its good he's young and full of energy !! That WAS a bit of heavy iron to use, but it was free and does the job well. A quick coat of paint makes anything look better too. LOL Glad you enjoyed it Nelson. The installation is completed now and the house is staying cool. That's the main thing !!

Hey Jeff, may you have a Happy Independence Day as well...and thanks for watching today's video.

Good Afternoon my friend. Let me extend the well wishes to you and yours as well on this very important but warm Independence Day.

Good Afternoon Mike !! Thanks for the compliment my friend and I too wish the best for both you and Rose on this glorious Independence Day !! Keep cool today as well. LOL The bigger part of the project will be coming soon.....

Hey Glen, you are welcome man. Thanks for stopping in today !!

Excellent !! I think you'll do fine. I'd suggest checking the manual on the minimum clearance to the wall for proper air flow across the outdoor coil. Good luck...by the way there is a complete playlist on this install. Here it is in case you haven't seen it: kzfaq.info/sun/PLk72G9DTzZ1taVZjyeN9DKr52HQ3hhcXd

Oh yeah Tom, its a solid one for sure. If it collapses because of the weight of the air conditioner, we have a problem !! LOL Keep an eye out for the bigger and more important portion of the project.

Thank you Mark. I appreciate the compliment on the little project. The bigger part is just around the corner. Enjoy the Fourth !! Its a great day to be alive.

There's only two things I miss about workiing. #1 is the company truck. My last one was a one ton Chevy dually service body with the big 496 and Allison automatic. #2 is all the bounty from the jobsite hoppers. LOL Man, I have scrounged literally tons of stuff that was heading to the junkyards over the years. I'm sure you feel the same way John. LOL

@@tractorman4461 F-450 super duty side boxes welder on shoulder ample rigging and hardware ,multiple sizes of angle iron plate ect.. Rigged out at 15 k at the scales. With out question I miss the dumpsters. The guys would say there he goes lol.

@@johnanthony2545 That's one heck of a rig right there John !! Holy Smokes. Awesome!!

Hahahahaha....you know me Gator, if its free, its for meeeee !! LOL

Hahahaha....if the duct tape would've been closer that would have been what I used. LOL I've brought home power tools with little more than a nick or cut in the wire Dave !! The job foremen can't take a chance keeping them on site because OSHA fine potential. That's where most of my ladders came from too. A crack in the firbeglass leg or a broken rung and its 'toast' !! Once I make the repairs they still cannon be used due to the integrity of the original frame or structure has been jeopardized.

@@tractorman4461 LOL, I will do the same than you Sir ( fixe or repaire toasted items !!! ) Cheers

Yes Dean....any set of the multiples of 3, 4 and 5. I even squared my new 30x40 shed in the same manner while we were sitting forms for the foundation wall !! Happy Independence Day to you as well my friend.

Yes, I have used strut commercially hundred of times to mount many things on wall surfaces. That was the perfect solution to the challenge the rough surface made. Thanks Justin for chiming in with your solution.

Good Morning Dave, and I hope you too enjoy this warm Independence Day as well !!

Thanks Bobby for the visit and may you too have a Happy Independence Day my friend !

I would never have guessed that Matt. LOL People overlook the benefits of scrap iron don't they...!!?

@@tractorman4461 They sure do

I'm just another poor boy trying to get by John.... Take care and keep that mill humming along !!

Sounds like a good time. I wouldn't mind having a 97 myself, though I don't think that will ever happen. I'm sure that was just one of your outings with the tractors while there.

Good Morning Bryce, thank you for watching and please enjoy the awesome holiday as well !!

It won't be the easiest to change a compressor, but at least the grass clippings, weed eater and dog urine damage will be kept to a minimum !! LOL Some manufacturers recommend removing the whole condensor coil in addition to the fan to change the compressor !! Crazy stuff man. Crazy stuff.

Sí, me sostuvo a mí y a mi estómago de gran tamaño con mucha facilidad.

For concrete I like to use these in 3/8" or 1/2" diameter and 3 to 3 3/4" long: www.amazon.com/Red-Head-Wedge-Anchor-10CT/dp/B0B693K46H/ref=pd_rhf_d_se_s_pd_sbs_rvi_sccl_2_4/145-6288689-8220349?pd_rd_w=opk3b&content-id=amzn1.sym.a089f039-4dde-401a-9041-8b534ae99e65&pf_rd_p=a089f039-4dde-401a-9041-8b534ae99e65&pf_rd_r=E0AFFWV9QVVY0MXQZSKZ&pd_rd_wg=wXtDO&pd_rd_r=b71d4b28-53e5-42bb-a6e1-687ed68fb339&pd_rd_i=B0B693K46H&psc=1 The depth of the hole is important as well as blowing out all the dust. If you don't clear the dust it can be forced ahead of the anchor and not allow the anchor to be inserted to the correct depth. Brick, block or wood require different types of anchors.

The wall its mounted on is a poured concrete wall, not cement block.

Carefully use appropriate length self tapping screws and screw through the frame into the base of the bottom of the unit. CAREFULLY though, to ensure you don't hit the outdoor coil.

Iirc, this one is made of 2”x 1/4” material. Plenty heavy. Even if you’re installing a 5 ton a/c. Make sure it’s long enough to get the minimum distance from the wall for air circulation. Usually 12” for airflow and servicing.

Ask your relative to provide you the required size to fit the unit. They are not all the same physical size.
