Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Pleasant 72° and an easterly breeze.
Neighbors getting their oil tank filled, I get to smell the truck exhaust. Guy did poor job backing into their drive, from mine. Didn’t get the ass end of the truck over enough, so had to keep backing, pulling up, backing, pulling up into my grass, backing, pulling further up on my grass to get it in there.
Anyway nice cool day for new geo unit to put out 38° air on the first test.
Didn’t get one hose tight enough, leaked a little water.
Starting to put ductwork back together.

Old unit already bolted to pallet and in the barn

Wasn’t as hard as expected, slid it out in the pan, tilt one side and throw a couple blocks under, then slid over edge of pan onto a dolly. Good thing I still have the handicap ramp into garage. Reverse order for the new install.

Drew, a pex fitting clamp should not be on that hose.

sure shouldn't, pex clamp on pex hose only
I wonder how many pennies they saved

Nice, glad the job went well.

The ductwork reinstall will be a pain, especially my homemade return plenum. I had to partially disassemble it to cut the tape that sealed inside the old unit. Probably won’t tape it this time, or try to tape from outside.

not a bad drive today, but honestly pretty boring after I left the mountains.
I was looking forward to seeing something, a cow or two...
safe and sound in Evansville WY, just east of Casper.
And I get to put a new state sticker on the map.

very nice campground despite being dry and gravel. Everything is spotless and I have a load of wash going in their very nice laundry.
Campground is next to North Platte River, and they have an attractive
gazebo by the river to sit, chat, barbecue, whatever.

time for a late lunch

Got upstairs ductwork back together. Need to insulate some. Just need return plenum and heat coil wiring.

Smells in the room, I’m hoping it’s the glycol from dumping some water, and not Freon.

Should finish tomorrow, but I could run it now.
