An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

The pre-charged kits are fairly inexpensive and surprisingly easy to put in, but you'll need about $400 in extra shit.

My extra shit list:

Disconnect box

Surge suppressor

Liquid-tight whip

Lineset chase

20A breaker

Various holesaws

12/3 wire

Caulking

Duct seal

Extra insulation

Wall mount or concrete paving block

Nice! How does the drainage work on the inside unit? Are you worried about it getting moldy?

They include a drainage tube that you bundle along with the lineset, making sure to keep it on the bottom of the bundle all the way and through the wall.

I was pretty careful to make sure I had a constant slope so it didn't leave a belly to collect condensate, and I taped the joints in the tubing. I did have to go through a dead space over my basement stairs so I've left an access panel to be able to check that periodically. Ideally, you'd just mount it on an outside wall and there wouldn't be any place at risk other than through the wall itself, but I didn't have a place close enough to mount the pump unit where it wasn't ugly.
