Sounds great. I’m thinking the same thing. So your garage will probably be like a meat locker this summer. 😁 ❄️

@@mitchkronowit3633 I'm hope so. I live in the South like Adam so its brutally hot in the Summer months. And the heat is nice in the Winter too!

@@brittmrmanly4982 We’re not too far off being in Central Texas. Gets pretty hot here as well, but not as humid as Florida or the Gulf Coast. Our garage turned into a sauna every summer and an ice box every winter, so I added insulation to the garage doors and rolled out some batts in the ceiling space above. That alone has made a big difference, but a mini-split would be such an awesome addition. Good luck with yours. 👍

My wife is from Poland and it was unbelievable the red tape she had to go through to renew her passport after we got married. I guess the US does not have a monopoly on bureaucracy.

I think going from the outside in is worth looking at, keep it on the tin flat spots.

They are great, until you install 12 tons of cooling in a space as small as his. There is no way they will be able to throttle down enough to keep humidity under control. One smaller unit for a typical garage works great, though. Four of these monsters, no.

@@brianhaygood183 Shop with big equipment. In Florida. I don't think he will have ANY problems keeping those units running at full tilt. He's not conditioning a room with a few people sitting on a couch watching TV 🙄

The lines come pre-charged.

Little lean to's?

More like a paneled fence.

Just don't block air flow. Onnne small blockage can recycle hot exhaust air to the inlet side. An infared camera or goodtemp probes to double check. Before retirement i had N.A.T.E. and +twenty years, dad more experance and grand father teaching mech eng at OU. For several decades. The pad should slope to drain heating condesate from the out door unit during defrost cycles. Hope FIL is upto date on the "got chas"

Cool deal. (Pun intended)

Good tips guys! Our condenser unit used to be either in the shade of our house or a large tree, but that tree died and had to be removed. Now I’m looking at the sun beaming onto the thing for almost half a day during the upcoming summer. Planting a new tree will take some time, so I’d like to get the sun off it until then. I guess I’ve got another project to do now.

I’ve been watching every video on this new shop build and details have been scarce. All I know is Adam intends to keep his home shop. That’s about it. I believe he plans to hire some people and increase the number of jobs he can take on. After all, what’s the point of two shops when there’s only one Adam?

Awhile back he bought a piece of land just out in the country a little bit and from a few tiny hints he's said here and there I believe he's going to build a house out there and a much bigger shop than what he has now, probably even bigger than this new shop space. I'm not sure how long y'all have been watching but I've been watching him for about 7 years now and when he did the video of pouring the new concrete slab in front of his shop at his house he poured it really thick because I know he was planning on adding to his shop again but I think he realized that he would end up expanding past it sooner than he would like so he's taking his time and playing the long game. He's going to build his dream shop and he's using this one as a dry run, he's going to build something epic like a 40'x70' or maybe even a 50'x100' building exactly how he wants it and move everything under one roof, I'm willing to bet he's also eventually going to buy back all the machines that his family had to sell to Motion when the economy took a crap. This is going to take awhile though, it's going to take years to build up the money and building homes is a painful process but it's almost like I can look inside his head and know his goals because they are so very close to my own, this is exactly how I would be doing it myself except all my stuff would be geared towards building guns instead of machining parts but it's all the same type of machining, probably more CNC stuff for me. Personally I think the only thing he's missing is having kids to keep the family legacy alive.

Turning and milling is very clean, but sanding and grinding dust are awful for filters. Being high up should help a bit.

@@Bob_Adkins grinding (including sharpening of tungsten) should never be done in the same environment as machining; I don't recall what is Mr. Booth plan for this, but in my case I have a strict "grind outdoors" policy. I setup a a bench made of pressure treated wood with a vise outdoors. The CNC plasma is in the shop but I use forced ventilation in addition to the water table to mitigate.

@@AlessioSangalli I hate sanding and grinding in my shop, and I'm sure most machinist do. However, it's a discipline that's very hard to adhere to. When it's too cold and wet to fish or work in the yard, I work in my warm shop, and don't want to go outside to sand, grind, or use a cutoff wheel.

@@Bob_Adkins in that case, and of course depending on the size of your shop, maybe consider building a grinding booth with proper ventilation. That is what we had in my previous job, a room dedicated to grinding operations

@@AlessioSangalli Exactly right! I'm trying to figure that out right now. I've had enough of the mess, but can't find the room to put a booth.

If the evaporator coil is above the condensing unit you will not oil log the lines or coil ... if the condensers were going on the roof above the evaporator the line set should loop above the condenser or inverted traps

Most of these units don't have that issue. But I've never seen a mr cool older than 5 yo

@@j-tothe-ay that's about how long they last on average

@@j-tothe-ay and they are not any less expensive than a traditional unit.

@@Stan_in_Shelton_WA I install mistu's regularly several dozen systems a year at that. So I find these as a novelty. And sorta a waste of time and money

I wanna get an old school lathe like that myself lol actually adam showed they've built a window shaker into the office in one of his previous videos. If I find it I'll send the link

The pan in a Mr. Cool unit is about 1/3 of the way up the height of the unit. The condensate hose comes out much lower than the pan. Code requires a p-trap in condensate lines, so it is definitely not a problem to have the line curve around a little and keep a trap seal in it inadvertently.

We have problems with scrappers in Detroit Michigan that steal those condensers and scrap them for cash
