Plus Miscellaneous stuff, brings the total up to around $2,600
give or take $100.00

If I wanted to, I might be able to toss the 70mm hole saw in with the
AC tools and sell it all as a Mini-split Installer Kit.. Who knows?

Hehehe! My wife went out.. The heat is now 74 and I'm loving it!
Feel like I'm back home in Texas! (It's 80 in the hallway)!

Edit:
I've been sitting around watching TV this evening and goofing with the new Sanyo.
This machine is great! It's hardly running at all and heating the whole house.
I goosed it up to 74 and it went up to 72 back in the den (our coldest room) pretty quick.

I've found that placement of the remote (/portable thermostat) is important for
hitting your target temperature, in a selected area.
Also important is the manual aiming of the left-right vent direction vanes.
When both are aligned to shoot air down the hall, my PC room and the bedrooms get more heat than I expected.
This will be a real night-time power saver, since heat delivery to the sleeping areas is so effective.
One thing I didn't expect, is a warmer Bathroom! (The oil heat in there is pretty poor).

I hope, my baseboard forced hot-water (oil-fired) system is not going to see much use this winter.
Of course it will have to get used on those extra cold nights. I hope we don't have that many!


Cheers,
Rich
