My wife thinks the old Sanyo IDU's look better..

Flare inspection was disappointing. I haven't made a lot of flares,
but I think that I could have done a better job on the 1/4" connections..
The 5/8 flares didn't impress me much either.
I've seen better.. But I've only purchased two linesets before..

The 1/4" started hissing at 50 psi.. So, I turned it down some more.. Actually twice, before it stopped.

It's been just above 200 PSI for the last 2 hours. I've not put the ladder back up,
to perform the bubble test.. Yet.. I might just let this 200 PSI sit overnight..
Go back to work in the AM.. This afternoon, I can do the wiring..

The lineset is so long, it's taking up a lot of room behind the ODU..
Not liking this long line set..
