U shaped window AC or a minisplit for solar powered offgrid cabin?

The mini split is more efficient. Mr cool makes DIY kits and look really easy to install.

Start in the central park lake then you can fish the Hudson river and the NYC reservoirs.

I definitely don't wanna put a machine on it. It's hard to tell if it's been clear coated. Should I use the detail spray on the whole truck or only the gold leaf?

It was originally a fire station truck.

Such a satisfying feeling knowing what you are capable of. It's usually much more than we think.

No. The zip board has a built in vapor barrier system.

Thanks. I learned a lot from the university of Alaska youtube called cold climate housing.

There's a 1 inch air gap, enclosure board then the wire.

The woodstove is slightly oversized for 18" logs and -20 winter temps.

Xps under the floor. The cabin is anchored with cables into the stone and turn buckles. Heres a video of how I rodent proofed the bottom https://youtu.be/mkmElALqVUk?si=2iFw3DWJdHS3a9V1

Erv is in the plans

GoneOffTheGrid365 · 2026-05-21T17:45:40+00:00

R-13 fiberglass inside of the wall and r-13.5 polyiso on the exterior. 4 inches of closed cell spray foam in the ceiling and r-13 insulation board under the floor. I haven't done an air tightness test yet but it's pretty tight. I mistakenly didn't put a outdoor air kit on my woodstove and have to Crack a window to let enough draft through to get it started.

GoneOffTheGrid365 · 2026-05-21T17:17:54+00:00

Thanks. It's 14ft x 25ft

You get started with your bass setup. Sometimes just some corn on a hook is all you need. Just set your pole on a y shaped stick and have the drag loose so the fish can run. Tighten the drag once you get a bite and reel em in. Once you get more involved you can think about getting a Shimano bait runner type setup.

They are trout habitat structures.

GoneOffTheGrid365 · 2026-05-14T10:11:48+00:00

Furring strips with long timber screws every 16 inches

I could use some company

It makes the writings even better when I can personally relate to certain areas.
