Kicked around the idea for the garage... just to take the edge off in there and the bedrooms above

They are nice I had them at the old house. A low electric use and very dependable 10-year warranty and have had warranty work only once. It does take the edge off I especially like them in the summer keeping the garages dryer eliminating the humidity we have.

I installed a DIY Mr Cool at my cabin. Took about 4 hours to do by myself.

First, yikes - that motor -

Secondly, yes - needs to do a lot of reading and research. The books that are out there, my biggest complaint is that the images just downright suck for trying to pick out details.

Those fuzzy black and white photos in some of those books leave a lot to be desired for sure.

One thing I have to say the GM books show where every single nut and bolt go along with the touqe specs.

I told Ron to get one when the Monte was in my shop what a mistake he torqued every single nut/bolt/screw. Everyone. No wonder it was on the lift over a year! :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:

Lot of rescue guys brought the mixes with them on extended deployments. Worked great in liter bottles!

Made me think about where so many deployments are these days and those nation's views on adult beverages. A brother Operating Engineer was telling me about some of his time with Bechtel Corp. In the early petroleum days in the middle east, Bechtel did lots of the grading, construction, pipelines involved in the growth of the oil industry there. He was on a pipeline crew. They were housed in container type structure on skids that was drug to the next site by a dozer :realcrazy:. They worked 6 twelves and then took 3 off. Adult beverages were not allowed. After the work week was done, they loaded up on a Bechtel airplane and flew to Cypress to let off the work week steam and consume those beverages that were so missed. :lol: I guess I was just spoiled being able to stop at the market for a tall boy on the way home after work :lol:

Goes on that part that sticks out and the grommet is molded around it. The screw is where it goes.
