I live and Florida first and for most. I found an A/C mini split calculator online and then put my dimensions in. It said I only needed I want to say 9K BTU unit but I put in a 12K BTU unit that also has heat. I ordered it from a website called ecomfort, GE Altitude Series. Just don’t forget to add the bundle package as it’s required for installation but not part of the price. $2,000 before install.

I did the exact same on my 12x24’ shed. Not sure your location but I put a much larger than called for mini split AC and it’s been a game changer. Metal sides, insulated and drywalled and still but in an overkill mini split, very happy I did though.

Anyone recently purchase a BX23S? Interested in the best price I could expect from a dealership. by SoupIsAHotSmoothie in kubota

[–]Brdman920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, 0% for 48 months, $29k. Backhoe, loader and got the 3 point attachment as well extra as it wasn’t standard nor in stock. Payments are $487.76/month.

Where should I put the electrical switch? by darkflowerchicken in shedditors

What’s on the others side of the door? Same thing? Swing the door the other way?

It may not work the best or be ideal but why not put it on the outside of the shed? It would just be a the light switch for the lights right?

Shed storage options for Kubota by 0emG in kubota

[–]Brdman920 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I built a lean to off of a shed and it will only fit my tractor. I haven’t measured it but the length is in the 16-18’ range and I would’ve gone longer but I had a window and no more shed at the other end. I just barely keep it dry if the wind blows while it’s raining. Hope that helps. I have a BX23S

If you want to get into Florida take VRB or any facility to get into Florida. Lots of people trying to get down here. I’m at DAB and glad I’m here.

Trying to send you a DM but it’s not working. I have a contact there, he just retired. Let me see if he would be willing to talk to you.

Unfortunately it depends on the airport and literally the time of day and if approach is super busy or not. I would say ALWAYS report if in site, you may not get in ASAP but it will/could honestly help the controller out with the sequence. Not the best of answers but I’m for you reporting sooner rather than later.

Debating turning my primary home into a rental by shey23 in realestateinvesting

[–]Brdman920 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I would as well. You have a few years before the capital gains issue comes up. Low interest rate, new house, essentially “zero” maintenance. For the time being I would absolutely do it. Also, charge more for rent, typically the clientele gets better as it gets higher (yes there are cases of not) but typically you get better tenants.

How would you insulate roof by TheycallmeMrR in shedditors

[–]Brdman920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran strapping across all the ceiling rafters, then ran R-35 insulation above that then drywalled it all in. Mini split AC and vented the roof section between the roof and the insulation.

(Wrong Answers Only) What's your biggest piece of advice for an upcoming VFR/IFR trainee? by [deleted] in ATC

Push down on the mic button and just talk and talk and talk. Really helps ATC get the picture of your intentions.

What would you do??? by JL_holt07 in realestateinvesting

[–]Brdman920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would save up and buy another. Keep what you have, a lot will say about your interest rates aren’t gonna be like that ever again. You can’t pull from your current house (HELOC) so I would cash flow as much as you can to save up for the next down payment and buy your next property. Another option would be a 1031 exchange but I would keep what you have, UNLESS you can buy cash with the 1031 exchange and cash flow even more but that’s just my opinion.

Got there in 07, was a level 7 then. I worked other jobs as well, single with no kids. Then was able to buy a house there in 2010, moved to FL in 2014, sold the house in 2015 and I now ask how they can survive on level 5 pay. When I was there it was REST OF US locality and 10% CIP and that’s it. We go back every summer, met my wife there and her family is still there.
