Sizzle Chest Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Holy smokes! I should have done this years ago!!!! Installed a 1.5 ton TRANE mini-split system! Insulated the attic space above and my doors are already insulated. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's been ridiculously hot as of late and I just melt while doing a job. This is a game changer! I worked in 77 degree comfort with practically zero humidity all weekend long! This system will pull it down into the 60's during the heat of the day! Yeah baby! The inside unit.

Rich Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Wouldn't be worth doing it in my old garage, but that would definitely be a bonus. And heat in the winter too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I plan on replacing my house system with a Trane when my original unit kicks the bucket. They're said to be the best!! Edited August 21, 2017 by Mariner ocdrifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbrazelton Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 How big of a garage? Also does yours do heat too? I have seen these and wondered about them, I wouldn't mind ditching my wood stove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcaineer Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Do they look like this chris? Yep. And the Countach was my "first love" in cars. I remember seeing one when I was on a 5th grade class field trip (long bus ride from WV to the Ford Museum in MI). Stayed up basically the rest of the drive looking for another. And then saw one on a family trip to FL. It was on a dealer's lot and it was black...touched it and burnt my finger! Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Joe! ocdrifter and Nitelord 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocdrifter Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 That's two trips I sent you down on memory lane chris lol. That red Lambo is a 1989.5 it has European front bumpers because it had those horrible looking black pads in the front. I remember going down to look at this car at the LA auto show when I was a young lad and the. It came home. If I remember correctly it has less than 10k on the clock. This in my opinion is the best car ever made. A few years ago you could pick these up for 40k but now they went up in value. If you look closely there is a Ford Thunderbird hiding in the back under a plastic sheet. Yep. And the Countach was my "first love" in cars.

Just so none of the younger forum members have to look her up, Jaclyn Smith was one of the original Charlie's Angels from the 70's TV show along with Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson. She was also a model. Edited August 22, 2017 by ZMAN024 Nitelord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
