Still working, but in April I began a complete R & R of our house HVAC. Has been a POS since we moved in and finally tired of it not working.

Installing a three zone Fujitsu system that is more efficient. Doing this on my days off and before work. What I did not plan on is all of the additional work of structural repairs I have had to make to do this job right. Such as rebuilding all of my stem walls. Interesting what you discover when the "licensed contractor" is literally drinking buddies with the local building inspector. I was amazed that this place passed final inspection.

I have lost count how many "WTF's" have been uttered on this journey.




Had to build a small wall and pour a pad to set the new condenser on.













I should mention that for every step forward, it's been two back. Such as while prepping for the pad, I was forced to completely rework and modify our LPG line, union, valve and pipe. While there, I just went ahead and built a manifold to allow me to isolate each appliance and main LPG line. This was done so I could shut off each one independently so I wouldn't have to bleed the entire system.



More to follow,
Bugs
